Different compounds have different numbers of constituent elements. here is no set number.
Elements are pretty much defined by the number of protons in the nucleus. This number (the atomic number) defines the element. All the different elements have different numbers of protons in their nucleus.
A combination of chemical symbols that show what elements make up a compound and the number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of the compound is a chemical formula.
That is known as the law of definite proportions
This statement illustrates the law of multiple proportions, which states that if two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers. You can also put it this way: When two elements (A and B) combine to form more than one compound, the different masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A are in a simple ratio.

An element and compound. Element- A group of atoms with identical proton numbers, Compound- 2 or more DIFFERENT elements chemically held together.

doesn't have one, its a compound. only elements have atomic numbers, which is the number of protons the element has.
Chemical formulas consist of chemical symbols and numbers. The symbols represent the elements in the compound. The numbers indicate the quantity of atoms of each element in the compound.

Dalton discovered that the atoms that combine to form compounds are distinguished from one another by their atomic weights. He also learned that all atoms of a given element are identical.
If two elements (A and B) form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element (B) which combine with a fixed mass of the first element (A) will be ratios of small whole numbers. Examples: CO, CO2 SO, SO2, SO3 SiO, SiO2 NO, NO2

No. The multiple symbols interrupted by the numbers make it clear that this is a compound. In this case it is copper sulfate, a compound of three elements: copper (Cu), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O).
