The question about elementary equivalence of free products

Let $A,B,C,D$ be algebraic systems and $A$ and $B$ be elementary equivalent as well as $C$ and $D$. Are free products of $A,C$ and $B,D$ elementary equivalent if $A,B,C,D$ are groups, or $A,B,C,D$ ...

Shape of axioms in algebraic structures

When defining algebraic structures (like monoids, groups, etc...), are there some constraints on the shape of the axioms, for the structure to have good properties that we implicitly use in many ...
