∙ 12y agoEvery element has a symbol which consists of either one letter such as O for oxygen, H for hydrogen etc., or two letters, such as Fe for iron, Mg for magnesium, Cl for chlorine, etc. When you see that kind of symbol, which is found in the Periodic Table of elements, you will know that it is an element and not a compound. If you see two or more of these symbols of elements together, such as H2O which is water, or MgCl2, magnesium chloride, you will know that this is a compound.
