Elements consist of atoms which all have the same atomic number, chemical compounds consist of 2 or more different elements chemically bonded together
Elements cannot be broken down into anything simpler. Compound are made up of more than one element joined together.
Substances are either elements or compounds. Elements are substances in their simplest form that cannot be separated further through chemical reactions. Examples of elements are oxygen (O2), carbon (C2), and hydrogen (H2). Compounds are compositions of two or more elements. Examples of compounds are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sodium chloride - table salt (NaCl).
No, steel is an alloy of metals as opposed to an element. Elements can be metalloids, but compounds cannot.
A compound comprises the same proportion of its components, a mixture can be made up of varying amounts.A compound may have physical and chemical properties which are quite different to those of any of its components. A mixture retains many of the physical and chemical properties of its main ingredient.
Atoms, molecules made of numerous types of atoms, compounds which are made of molecules and elements which are made of atoms.
Elements are atoms that consist of different protons. They are the simplest thing that defines an atom. The only thing that defines them is the number of protons, electrons and neutrons they have, as all protons, electrons and neutrons are identical. (I think) Compounds are elements joined chemically together. They must be in a set ratio (e.g. water must be 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom) They can only be separated chemically (e.g electrolysis). Mixtures are stuff that contain different substances or materials. They are not bonded together chemically. There is no set ratio, unlike compounds. They can be separated by physical methods. (for example, salt in water is a mixture. They can be separated by distillation.)
Elements are single, however compounds are made up of two or more elements.
they don't
The properties of the compound will differ from the properties of the elements of which it is made.
Compounds is a pure chemical substance made of two different elements. Elements is pure chemical substance containing only one atom.
Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements.Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.
Elements contain only one type of atom, where as compounds are made up of different types of atoms.
They differ in some of the elements from which they are made and are:- 1 Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. proteins 4. Nucleic Acids
Chemical compounds are formed from chemical elements.
An atom is the smallest particle there can be and can't be broken down any further while compounds are composed of two or more different atoms of elements.

elements and compounds
Compounds differ from mixtures; the chemical composition is different !
