A binary compound is a chemical compound consisting of only two atoms of different elements. eg: NaCl (Sodium Chloride) is a binary compound, as it is an ionically bound compound made up of two elements, and happens to be what we commonly know as salt. Binaries are the simplest possible compounds and thus lend themselves well to theoretical studies. Detailed quantum mechanical calculations have been done for such molecules.
