atoms in elements are one kind of atom where as atoms in compounds are different atoms example gold is a element and it is made up of only gold atoms and water is a compound and it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms
both are pure substances, but atoms represent the smallest bits of elements. compounds are chemically combined atoms, molecules represent the smallest bits of compounds. atoms cannot be broken down into simpler substances, compounds can be broken down into atoms.
Elements and compounds are both composed of atoms. Compounds are composed of two or more atoms of different elements.
Compounds are composed of two or more atoms of different elements.
Organic and inorganic compounds both contain carbon atoms. They can both form covalent bonds with other elements. However, organic compounds primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms, while inorganic compounds can contain a variety of elements beyond carbon and hydrogen.
The basic building block of all compounds is atoms. Compounds contain atoms of at least two different elements bonded to one another. Thus, atoms of elements are what form compounds.
No, the other way around. Kind of. Elements are made of compounds of atoms.
Elements
I believe...compounds are made up of two or more elements. Elements are made up of atoms.
Chemical compounds
Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. Atoms are the most basic units of an element that have the properties of that element. Atoms of elements combine to form molecules, which can be molecular compounds, and atoms of elements can combine to form ionic compounds, as well. Compounds contain atoms of two or more elements chemically combined.
because not all elements and compounds react with each other
Compounds and elements are similar in that they are both made up of atoms. However, compounds are made up of different types of atoms bonded together, while elements consist of only one type of atom.
