What term is used for two or more atoms held together?

  1. Compounds

  2. Elements

  3. Molecules

  4. Solutions

The correct answer is: Compounds

"Compounds" is the correct term for two or more atoms that are held together. This is because compounds are formed when different elements combine with each other in specific ratios. This results in a new substance with properties that are different from the original elements. "Elements" are incorrect as they are pure substances made up of only one type of atom. "Molecules" are incorrect as they are formed by the combination of two or more atoms, but these atoms can be of the same element. "Solutions" are incorrect as they refer to a mixture of two or more substances that are evenly distributed. Thus, the correct answer is "Compounds".
