The simplest is 1, as in in HCl and many others.
If it is a pure substance, than only one! Now that pure substance may contain many different elements (as many elements can make up a single pure compound), but a pure substance means only one compound.
An atom is not a compound. A compound is a pure substance that is composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically combined. The elements hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, which is a compound. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
3 elements are present 1. Aluminum 2.Sulfur 3.oxygen the sulfur and oxygen combine to form Sulfate therefore it is called Aluminum Sulfate

The elements in ethanol are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
It tells what elements are present in a molecule and how many atoms of each element are present.

A molecular formula.
an element is a single substance while a compound is made up of multiple elements. Theirs no way to now how many elements form to make a compound... only through a microscope/
The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.

Different compounds have different numbers of constituent elements. here is no set number.
the formula tells youwhich elements make up a compound as well as how many atoms of each element are present.

many materials, both elements and compounds can react with each other to form a compound.
