Elements are pure substances consisting of one type of atom. A compound is made up of more than one type of element. Oxygen is an element but exists as a diatomic molecule by itself (O2). Carbon dioxide would be an example of a compound because it is made up of two different elements, carbon and oxygen (CO2)

What elements or compounds are found in beans?
See the link below; beans are similar but not identical ! It is important to specify the cultivar.
How is compound and element similar?
Elements and compounds are related in sense that elements bond together chemically to make compounds. A compound can be broken down into pure elements. Example. Water (H20), Is Hydrogen (pure element) and Oxygen (also pure element) bonded together to form a compound (H20). However, while a compound can be broken down into its simple elements, an element cannot be broken down. It is said that an element is the purest whole form. --- Some common substances include both elements (pure elements) and compounds. Air, for example, contains elements such as nitrogen and oxygen, and also compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is made from carbon and oxygen.
What other elements compounds and mixtures are involved in photosynthesis?
There Are No Other Elements or Compounds And Mixtures
What are some compounds of minerals that occur as elements instead of compounds?
Copper, Silver, and Gold occur as elements instead of compounds.
What is similar about oxygen and lead?
Very little. They can both have a valency of two. They are both elements. They can both form compounds with sulfur. I am reaching here!
Do compounds have very similar properties from those of the elements that make it?
no
Do compounds of different elements have similar properties?
Generally the properties are different.
How are compounds and mixtures similar?
A mixture contain two or more compounds.
How are elements and compounds similar to each other?
Elements make up compounds and chemical bonds! :) have a nice day
Can compounds composed of different elements have similar properties?
Yes. (Salts are a good example of this.)
Is it true when element chemically combine the usually form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elements?
No: The compounds more often have very different properties from those of the elements that form them.
How do elements relate to compounds?
Chemical compounds are formed from chemical elements.
What are non-metals in the nitrogen family?
elements and compounds
What are the two type of substances?
Elements and compounds
What is the difference from an element from a compound?
Compounds are made of elements. Elements are the smallest units of the compounds. Elements are bond to make compounds.
Is elements chemically combine they form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elememts?
No, compounds do not necessarily have similar properties to their uncompounded elements. Example: Hydrogen and Oxygen are both gasses at normal temperature and pressure, but their compound, dihydrogen oxide (water) is a very distinctly different substance.
What compounds form the element gadolinium and how are they used?
Compounds do not form elements. Elements form compounds.
