  Chemistry - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Chemistry and physics, however, meet on common ground in a well-defined branch of science, named physical chemistry, which is primarily concerned with the correlation of physical properties and chemical composition, and, more generally, with the elucidation of natural phenomena on the molecular theory.
Compounds were denoted by joining the symbols of the components, and by varying the manner of joining compounds of the same elements were distinguished The symbol V was used to denote a liquid, and a vertical line to denote a gas.
Compounds in which all the units of affinity of the contained elements are engaged are said to be saturated, whilst those in which the affinities of the contained elements are not all engaged by other elements are said to be unsaturated.

Modern chemistry was established in the late 18th century, as scientists began identifying and verifying through scientific experimentation the elemental processes and interactions that create the gases, liquids, and solids that compose our physical world.
Chemistry is often called the central science, because its interests lie between those of physics (which focuses on single substances) and biology (which focuses on complicated life processes).
Another important characteristic of a compound is that the weight of each element in the compound always has a fixed, definite ratio to the weight of the other elements in the compound.

Chemistry is the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations that they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes.
Chemistry, therefore, is concerned not with the subatomic domain but with the properties of atoms and the laws governing their combinations and with how the knowledge of these properties can be used to achieve specific purposes.
Chemistry deals with the interaction of atoms to form molecules; Chemists use this knowledge to guide them in their work in studying all existing chemical compounds and in making new ones.

 compound - a definition from Whatis.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
1) In chemistry, a compound is a substance that results from a combination of two or more different chemical elements, in such a way that the atoms of the different elements are held together by chemical bonds that are difficult to break.
Sometimes, when an element is exposed to a compound, a reaction occurs in which new compounds are formed (as when pure elemental sodium is immersed in liquid water).
Examples of this usage include compound eye (found in various insects), compound microscope (a high-power magnifying instrument consisting of more than one lens), compound sentence (a sentence that is a conjunction or disjunction of smaller sentences), and compound document, an organized collection of user interfaces that form a single integrated perceptual environment.

 McMaster Chemistry: Kruse
The surface chemistry of 'simple' systems such as silicon is the subject of intense research around the world and a lot of nanoscience is based on it.
However, from a chemist's point of view, compound semiconductors are much more interesting because of their more diverse and intriguing surface structure.
Compound semiconductor surfaces are distinct from silicon in their considerable number of reconstructions that can arise from different stoichiometric compositions.
