b. they combine to make compounds
a. they are always made up of individual atoms in their natural state
b. they combine to make compounds
Expert's answer
The second one is true (b. they combine to make compounds),because chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements, that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions and not all elements have natural state (synthesized elements).
