Which word is the object of the subject noun?
The effectiveness of this product is in the compounds itself.
Is it the word: "compounds"? Isn't compounds the noun INSIDE the preposition therefore it cannot be the main object? Or is the correct answer "itself"?
Kindly explain please. Thanks!

Subjects/Nouns do not have objects; verbs (if they are transitive) and prepositions have objects. Your sentence, however, has an intransitive or linking verb ('is'), so there is no direct or indirect object in your sentence. Its structure is SVA.
