By definition, no. A compound must contain atoms of two or more elements.
This is, to some extent, an artificial semantic distinction. Several elements (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) exist normally as diatomic molecules. If we "mix and match" we can still make diatomic molecules in some cases (hydrogen and chlorine or nitrogen and oxygen, for example) , but now they're "compounds".

∙ 13y agoyes, a compound only contains one type of atom!
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. By definition a compound must contain at least 2 different elements. If it has just one element then it is an element.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, a substance which contains only one type of atom is an Element. A substance which contains atoms of two or more elements, which are chemically combined, is called a compound.

∙ 13y agoNo. A substance that contains only one element is an element, not a compound.

A molecule can be formed sometimes from a single element; examples are diatomic molecules of H2, O2, Cl2, F2, N2, Br2, I2.

What form of matter is made of only oe type of atom?
An element is made up of only one type of atom.
What does it mean when a compounds chemicals formula does not include any numbers?
there is only one atom of each element
Substance made of only one kind of atom?
an element is a substance rested with only one and ONE substance
How do compounds differ from elments?
Compounds is a pure chemical substance made of two different elements. Elements is pure chemical substance containing only one atom.
What atom are organic compounds made of?
Any compound MUST be made up of atoms of more that one type - otherwise they are not compounds. The only common characteristic of organic compounds is that they contain atoms of carbon, but a lump of pure carbon need not be organic.
What is the definition of a compounds?
A thing which is made up of more than one type of atom. Something which is made up of just one atom is called an element.
How do elements differ from other materials?
Elements contain only one type of atom, where as compounds are made up of different types of atoms.
What form of atom is made from only one type of atom?
Elements are made from one type of atom.
What is different between element and compound?
Element is a substance made up of only one atom that can not be split into two atoms and compound is a substance which contains two or more element chemically combined together.
What is the name of pure materials like fake diamonds that are made from more then one atom?
compounds
What is the relationship between a atom and a molecule?
a molecule is made up of more then 1 type of atom. also there are 1 or 2 elements that have molecules with only 1 atom. The atom is the basic unit of matter and the molecule is the smallest unit of compounds.
Is gold made up of only one atom?
No, gold is made of more than one atom.
What are the differences in atoms in elements and compounds?
atoms in elements are one kind of atom where as atoms in compounds are different atoms example gold is a element and it is made up of only gold atoms and water is a compound and it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms
What pure substances are made of only one type of atom?
Elements have only one type of atom
