SUMMARY
A compound is formed through the interaction of valence electrons, which are the outermost electrons in an atom. The discussion emphasizes that the last electron plays a crucial role in the formation of compounds. Understanding the behavior of these valence electrons is essential for grasping how compounds are created in chemistry. The distinction between defining a compound and explaining its formation is also highlighted.
