Elements and compounds are mutually exclusive categories, and no examples are possible. The questioner may be referring to molecular elements, which are molecules containing more than one atom of a single element. Examples of these are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and all the halogen elements (column 17 of a wide form periodic table).

Simple. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down by any physical or chemical means, while a compound is a combination of elements that can be broken down into simpler parts. An element would be something like Carbon (C) or Copper (Cu). A compound would be something like Water (H2O) or Glucose (C6H12O6).

The sets of compounds and elements are mutually exclusive by way of their definitions. If something is a compound, it cannot fulfill the requirements of being an element, and if something is an element, it cannot be a compound.

Here's a common one - the two elements Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) combine to form the compound water (H2O).

There are probably millions of compounds, made from various combinations of the elements you'll find listed in the periodic table of the elements.
