The difference could be in the proportions of the elements or in the structure of the compounds
There are three iron oxides where the proportions of the elements are different, FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4
There are two isomers of butane C4H10 , two structural forms, n-butane and iso-butane.

How can two coumpounds made from the same element be so different?
Because the proportions of the elements are different in the different compounds. They may contain the same elements, but the different proportions make them different compounds with different properties.
Do different compounds made of the same elements have different subscripts?
Yes, for example: carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) have the same elements but different subscripts.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
Could a compound have the same properties as its component elements?
Compounds are made of bonding few elements. They could not have same properties as its component elements. They could have completely different properties.
Do compounds act the same as their original atoms before they bonded to an element?
No. Compounds have unique chemical and physical properties different from the elements of which they are made.
What is the relationship between atoms elements and compounds?
I believe...compounds are made up of two or more elements. Elements are made up of atoms.
When elements chemically combine do the properties of the compounds have the same properties as the elements it is made of?
Generally, no, they do not.
What fats are made of the same elements but in different proportions?
Fats are made of the same elements as carbohydrates, but in different proportions.
Do compounds not have the same properties as the elements that formed them?
True. Compounds do not have the same properties as the elements that form them.
Compounds are made from different atoms of two or more?
Yes, also molecules are like compounds, but they can have 2 or more of the same atom.
How are Elements compounds the same?
They are not. The same
What is the name for a molecule that has a different arrangement of atoms?
When the same elements form compounds with different molecular forms, the compounds are known as isomers. (They may have different chemical properties.)
