Salt is a compound because it is made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. In the case of table salt (sodium chloride), it is composed of sodium and chlorine atoms that are bonded in a specific ratio to form a new substance with unique properties. This distinguishes it as a compound rather than a simple mixture of elements.
