scopeNoteNatural kinds are expressly not to be classified as 'compound'. The class 'compound' is only to be used to classify amounts of matter, with non-semantic auxiliaries used to refer to chemical composition. The semantics of natural kinds such as "helium", "steel", or "hydrocarbon" is out of scope for IDO.
