Elements are atoms, atoms are elements. Elements are not larger objects made up of smaller things (atoms). Elements are specific species' atoms, which have a specific Atomic Mass which gives rise to the characteristics of the element. Compounds are composed of elements.
It is important to note the difference between a compound and a molecule; the words, although often used interchangeably, have aspecific meaning in chemistry. A molecule is a certain type of compound in which the elements have bonded covalently. As such, all compounds are not molecules, but all molecules are compounds.
Pure substances.
Elements are substances consisting of a single kind of atom.
Compounds consist of different types of atom chemically bonded to one another in a fixed ratio and structure.
Elements are a single type of atom, whereas compounds are elements which are ionically bonded, covently bonded or metalically bonded.
Each pure water drop is composed of only two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. Most drinking water is composed of other compounds or elements to make it cleaner and safer to drink.
Atoms of different elements can " stick together " ( making compounds ) via elements sharing or trading arrangements called
a compound is made up of 2 or more types of atoms . atoms are smaller. u know what im sayin. listen, chemistry ain't a bowl of lemons . u gata wrk for it brotha
Yes, also molecules are like compounds, but they can have 2 or more of the same atom.
all compounds are formed of one or more elements..
Elements and compounds are both composed of atoms. Compounds are composed of two or more atoms of different elements.
Compounds are composed from elements.
Compounds are composed of two or more atoms of different elements.
Molecules are composed of atoms. Atoms are to elements as molecules are to compounds.
Yes. Elements are composed of individual atoms. Compounds are composed of molecules, which are chemical combinations of atoms. Some pure elements exist as molecules containing various numbers of combined atoms, such as atmospheric oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3).
No. Elements are composed of atoms that have the same number of protons (atomic number) in their atomic nuclei. Compounds are composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined.

An element is composed of only one type of atom. Compounds are composed of different types of atoms (different elements) that are chemically combined.
They are molecules composed of two atoms of the same element.
Atoms are elements, not compounds. Compounds are composed of two or more different atoms. For example, the element carbon, with the symbol C, is composed of atoms. If you combine carbon and oxygen to make carbon dioxide (CO2) then you have a compound, composed of molecules, each of which have 3 atoms, one carbon and two oxygen.
Elements are composed of discrete units called atoms.
