elements: a pure substance which cannot be sub-divided into two or more simpler substances by any chemical or physical means is called an element. eg:carbon-C, oxygen-O2.
compound: a pure substance which cannot be sub-divided into components by physical means but can be divided through chemical means is called a compound. eg: copper sulphate-CuSo4, water-H2O.
a compound is a mixture of elements. that is the difference
An element is only a chemical element, only a single type of atoms.A compound contain 2 or more atoms of different atoms.Matter can be an element, a compound or a mixture of compounds.
Element's have only one atom, while compund's have more that one atom.
A compound is a combination of at least 2 different elements or ions, while Hydrogen is simply an element.
An element is a single atom type, like oxygen, hydrogen, carbon etc., but a compound is a molecule of several atom types, like water, salt, steel, etc.

cornstarch is a compound element.
