Addition compound
An addition compound contains two or more simpler compounds that can be packed in a definite ratio into a crystal. A dot is used to separate the compounds in the formula. For example, ZnSO4•7 H2O is an addition compound of zinc sulphate and water. This represents a compound, and not a mixture, because there is a definite 1:7 ratio of zinc sulphate to water in the compound. Hydrates are a common type of addition compound.
