Elements are made up of only one thing. While a compound is made of two of more elements. Here is an example. H2O. Water is hydrogen and oxygen.
Elements are substances which cannot be broken down into anything simpler by chemical methods. Compounds are substances that are made up of two or more elements chemically joined together.
Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.
how are compounds and elements different?
think for yourself
A compound is composed of two or more different elements.
A substance that has properties different from the chemical elements in it is a chemical compound. A chemical compound is built from chemical elements that are chemically bonded together. And the "finished product" will have chemical properties that are unique to that compound, and different from the properties of the substances that make it up.
An element is such as oxygen, or nitrogen etc., A compound is a chemical combination between atoms of different elements, e.g. water (H2O) is a compound, because it contains two different elements.
the compound has properties that are different from the two elements the bonded, as it is a new substance
A compound can only consistent of at least two different elements.
The individual elements from which the compound is formed
A compound has minimum two different elements.
A pure substance is by definition composed of one compound. A compound may be composed of different elements.
No because the elements that make up the compounds have different properties than the compound's properties.
A binary compound is one that is composed of two elements.
its a compound, it is made up of two different elements
No. By definition a compound consists of two or more different elements.
