Elements are the smallest amount of matter that something can be broken into without going into the sub-atomic level. All things are made up of elemens, for example the oxygen in the air that we breathe. A mixture is not chemically bonded, and can be easily separated, for example a mixture of saltwater, or Hot Chocolate powder dissolving in water. A compound is where two or more elements are chemically bonded so that they are more difficult to separate, for example water (H2O)-to form a water molecule, two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom. Hope this helps, science is wonderful.

What is the same between compounds and mixtures?

Compounds are chemically mixed. You can't see the ingredients, elements, etc. in compounds. Compounds make a new thing. Compounds can't be separted easily. Compounds can't contain mixtures. Mixtures are not chemically mixed. You can see the ingredients, elements, etc. in the mixture. Mixtures don't create anything new. Mixtures can be separated easliy. Mixtures can contain compounds. Both mixtures and compounds are mixes of things. Both mixtures and compounds contain 2 or more elements, ingredients, etc. Hope I helped!
