Not by itself. Another element has to be around to chemically join with it to turn it into a compound. An atom of an element can join with another atom like itself to form a diatomic molecule, and a number of elements do this. Oxygen is called O2 because an oxygen atom always travels around with a buddy. When we form the "simplest" compounds, it takes an atom of one thing and an atom of another thing. Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), and it's a compound with an atom of sodium and an atom of chlorine bonded together.

Is KCl an element or compound?
KCl is a compound not an element.
Is cornstarch a compound or element?
cornstarch is a compound element.
Is berylium a compound or an element?
Beryllium is an element. It is not a compound
What additional information is needed to calculate the molecular formula from the percent by mass of each element in a compound?
In addition to the percent by mass of each element, you also need the molar mass of each element. This information allows you to convert the percent by mass into grams and then into moles, which is necessary to determine the empirical formula and subsequently the molecular formula of the compound.
Is an element a mixture a compound or a element?
Mixture
How do you calculate the grams of an element in a specific amount of a compound?
To calculate the grams of an element in a compound, you need to find the molar mass of the element and the compound. Then, use the formula: (mass of element/molar mass of compound) x molar mass of element. This will give you the grams of the element in the compound.
How do you test if something is an element or a compound?
if it dissolves its a compound if not its an element.
Is NO an element or a compound?
NO = Nitrous Oxide - compound No = Nobelium - element
Is energy an element or compound?
No, energy is NOT an element, a compound or a mixture.
Is carbon element compound mixture?
It is a compound Carbon is an element.
Is the salt is an element compound solution?
salt is a compound. it is not an element
