You have this a little backwards.
Compounds like water (H2O) can be divided into elements like Oxygen (O2) and Hydrogen (H2). Iron is also an element.
There are 118 unique elements from which all matter on earth is derived from.
The basic unit of an element is an atom.
Atoms are made out of protons, neutrons, and electrons which uniquely identify the element that the atom is part of. Hydrogen atoms have 1 proton and can have 0, 1, or 2 neutrons. Helium atoms have 2 protons, and usually have 2 neutrons. Etc.
The Protons and Neutrons are made out of Quarks.

Are iron and silicon chemical compounds?
no both iron and silicon are elements. chemical compounds aretwo or more elements.
Can compounds be further divided?
Yes. By definition, compounds contain at least two distinct elements and can be separated into these elements.
Can air be divided into compounds?
Air can be divided into compounds and elements. The major components of air are the elements nitrogen and oxygen, but most air also contains carbon dioxide and, at least in industrialized area, also oxides of nitrogen and sulfur that are compounds.
What would rust be an example of in elements compounds and mixtures?
Rust is a chemical compound, essentially an iron oxide.
What are non-metals in the nitrogen family?
elements and compounds
Are iron and silicon chemical compounds?
no both iron and silicon are elements. chemical compounds aretwo or more elements.
Is iron sulfide compounds elements or mixtures?
compound
Do compounds containing iron and copper look like the elements iron and copper?
no.
Can compounds be further divided?
Yes. By definition, compounds contain at least two distinct elements and can be separated into these elements.
Which elements are displaced by iron in their compounds?
Iron displace elements with a lower reactivity than its own; copper is an example.
Are helium and iron compounds?
No. Both are elements. Helium is a noble gas and iron is a transition metal.
Can air be divided into compounds?
Air can be divided into compounds and elements. The major components of air are the elements nitrogen and oxygen, but most air also contains carbon dioxide and, at least in industrialized area, also oxides of nitrogen and sulfur that are compounds.
Is iron and potassium an ionic compound?
Iron and Potassium both are elements and not compounds. They can't be ionic or molecular.
What can pure substances be classified as?
Pure substances are divided into elements and compounds.
Is iron oxygen nickel copper are the common elements found in organic compounds?

The millions of compounds that exist are made from approximately how many elements?
The millions of compounds that exist are made from approximately 115 elements!
How elements become compounds and how the properties are related to the elements that combine and to the molecule that is produced?
a compound is made when a reaction accours eg iron + heat + air = iron + oxide + air
