elements are that they are only made up of one type of atom and a compound is chemically bonded together with differents substances.

All substances are MADE FROM elements but they are not elements. For example CH4 is made of one carbon atom and four Hydrogen atoms. Carbon and Hydrogen are pure elements but CH4 is not an element.
The world around us is made up of both compounds and elements. Compounds are substances made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together, while elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom. For example, water is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen, while oxygen and gold are examples of elements.
Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and salt (NaCl) are examples of substances made of two elements.
substances
It depends on the elements! If two of them are carbon and hydrogen, hundreds of compounds can be made from these elements alone. If the four elements are all noble gases, no new substances can be made from them by chemical reaction.

Elements
This would be called an element, or a mono-atomic compound.
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.
