well a simple way of putting it is elements are in the Periodic Table compounds are made with elements
ex:carbon=element
carbon dioxide=compound
the ease with which the elements can be separated.
Nutrients are chemical compounds; they contain molecules - and the molecules are formed from chemical elements.
Compounds contain more than one element.
Chemical compounds are formed from chemical elements.
An element is a substance made up of atoms with the same number of protons, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Elements cannot be broken down further by chemical means, while compounds can be broken down into their constituent elements.
Group 1 or group 2 elements with group 16 or group 17 elements. In general, if the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is more than 1.7 in Pauling's scale, then the two atoms form ionic bond.
A compound contain elements chemically bonded.A mixture contain two or more compounds; they can be separated by physical procedures.
An element is composed of only one type of atom. Compounds are composed of different types of atoms (different elements) that are chemically combined.
Elements and compounds
In comparison with ionic bonds, the difference in electronegativities of elements in a covalent bond have a lower difference in electronegativities. A covalent bond occurs between two nonmetals that have a difference in electronegativities that is 1.7 or less. Usually an ionic bond has a difference in electronegativities that is greater than 1.7, but not always.
Elements become compounds after chemical reactions.
Molecular compounds are made up of multiple different elements bonded together, while molecular elements are made up of the same type of element bonded together. Molecular compounds have multiple types of atoms, while molecular elements have only one type of atom.
