This question was previously asked in
RRB Technician 2026 Grade 3 Question Paper (7-Oct-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Chemical bonding between atoms of different elements

A compound is a pure substance made of two or more different elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion. So a molecule of a compound must contain atoms of at least two different elements joined by chemical bonds.

When atoms of different elements bond chemically, for example two hydrogen atoms with one oxygen atom forming H2O, or one carbon atom with two oxygen atoms forming CO2, a molecule of a compound is formed.

Chemical bonding between atoms of the same element gives a molecule of an element, such as O2, N2 or H2, not of a compound. Separating atoms from a molecule breaks a molecule rather than forming one, and physical mixing does not create chemical bonds, so it gives a mixture.

Hence, Chemical bonding between atoms of different elements.
