This compound is called calcium carbonate It contains calcium, carbon, and oxygen, all of which are different types of elements.

It is a compound because it contains more than one type element* * An element is a substance with only contains one type of substance e.g. oxygen, sodium. Generally if it is on the periodic table it is an element.

It would be a compound. An element's symbol never has more than three letters and never has more than one uppercase letter. No compound with this formula exists. The subscripts, which indicate the number of atoms, are important. The correct formula is CaCO3, the formula for both the minerals calcite and aragonite.
