Compound nouns are nouns that are formed by combining two or more words together. Let's try to match the words given to form compound nouns:

1. coffee + maker = coffee maker - This is a device that makes coffee.
2. traffic + car = traffic car - This doesn't form a common compound noun. It would be better to say "car in traffic" or "traffic jam" instead.
3. mobile + phone = mobile phone - This is a portable device used for communication.
4. alarm + clock = alarm clock - This is a clock that can be set to make a loud noise at a specific time.
5. washing + machine = washing machine - This is a machine used for washing clothes.
6. computer + science = computer science - This is a field of study that focuses on computers and their use.

Now, let's continue matching the other words:

7. pop + music = pop music - This is a genre of music that is popular and catchy.
8. golf + course = golf course - This is an area or facility used for playing golf.
9. heart + attack = heart attack - This is a medical condition where the blood flow to the heart is blocked.
10. art + gallery = art gallery - This is a place where artworks are displayed and sold.
11. blood + donor = blood donor - This refers to a person who voluntarily donates blood.
12. contact + lens = contact lens - This is a thin lens placed directly on the eye to correct vision.
13. windscreen + wiper = windscreen wiper - This is a device used to clear rain or debris from a car's windscreen.
14. youth + hostel = youth hostel - This is an inexpensive accommodation for young travelers.
15. junk + food = junk food - This refers to unhealthy and highly processed food.
16. pocket + money = pocket money - This is a small amount of money given to someone regularly.
17. generation + gap = generation gap - This refers to the differences in attitudes, beliefs, and lifestyles between different generations.
18. death + penalty = death penalty - This is the punishment of execution for a crime.

Unfortunately, there is a word "репаlty" that doesn't seem to be a valid English word, so we cannot form a compound noun with this word.

I hope this explanation helps you understand how compound nouns are formed. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
