Elements are listed in the Periodic Table. Each element has its individual atomic number and symbol. The atomic number is based on the number of protons within the nucleus of the atom. As of 2006 the table contained 117 chemical elements. 94 found naturally on earth and the rest are synthetic elements that have been produced artificially in particle accelerators.

Forming a mixture is a reversible reaction and therefore you can separate the elements within a mixture but forming a compound is an irreversible reaction and you can't separate the elements within a compound, they are chemically bonded together.

There are millions of compounds and millions of separations, and some you can't separate. If you give a specific compound I will do my best to tell you how that compound is separated
