Best Answer

At least one. (That's not, entirely, a smart-aleck answer. I suspect you don't understand the meaning of either element or compound or possibly both. You need some review study, and trying to figure out how "one" is a legitimate answer should provide that. As a hint, consider the diatomic gasses, or buckminsterfullerene.)

How do you know if an element is an ion?

When metals combine with non-metals you normally get an ionic compound. So, sodium chloride is ionic. When non-metals combine with other non-metals you get a covalent type of compound, so water is covalent. If you really want to distinguish between the two you need to become familiar with the Periodic Table of Elements.
