Elements, compounds, and mixtures are all pretty similar things; however, they have aspects that allow the chemist to differentiate between the three chemistry concepts.
An element consists of only one kind of atom.
A compound consists of atoms from two or morekinds of elements that are bound together.
A mixture consists of two or more different elements or compounds that have been physically combined.
Both compounds and mixtures can be separated, but the difference is that compounds can only be chemically separated (and always retains the same amount of its components), whereas mixtures can only be physically separated (and it will contain most of its original components).
