A compound is a mix of different atoms to make a molecule of that compound, whereas an element is just the same types of atoms. Ex.: Compound: ABABABA
Element: AAAAAAAA

Do ionic bonds have a greater or lesser electronegativity difference between them than a covalent bond?
The difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by ionic bonds is almost always greater than the difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by covalent bonds.
What is the difference between a pure element and a com pound?
A compound is made of two or more elements.
Are covalent bonds made up of metals and nonmetals?
Two elements will form ionic compound if the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is above 1.7 and two elements will form covalent compound if the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is below 1.7 Metals and non-metals will form generally ionic compounds.
What compound has a greater difference in electronegativities of its members NaCl or KCl?
KCl has a greater difference between the electronegativity of the two elements present.
What is the difference between a compound and a molcule?
A compound is two or more elements combined. Like H2O or NaCl. A molecule is the basic unit of a compound like O2, H2, N2.
What is the diffrance between a element and a compound?
a compound is a mixture of elements. that is the difference
Why is it important to recognize the difference between elements and compound?
glass
What the difference between native elements and compounds?
A compound contain two or more different elements.
Do ionic bonds have a greater or lesser electronegativity difference between them than a covalent bond?
The difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by ionic bonds is almost always greater than the difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by covalent bonds.
What is the difference between a pure element and a com pound?
A compound is made of two or more elements.
What is the difference between a compound and hydrogen?
A compound is a combination of at least 2 different elements or ions, while Hydrogen is simply an element.
What is the difference between a mixturre and a compound?
A mixture is a collection of various elements which have not ionically bonded. A compound is when those elements are heated up and join together. Mixture = Iron and Sulphur Compound = Iron Sulphate
Are covalent bonds made up of metals and nonmetals?
Two elements will form ionic compound if the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is above 1.7 and two elements will form covalent compound if the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is below 1.7 Metals and non-metals will form generally ionic compounds.
What compound has a greater difference in electronegativities of its members NaCl or KCl?
KCl has a greater difference between the electronegativity of the two elements present.
What is the difference between a compound and a molcule?
A compound is two or more elements combined. Like H2O or NaCl. A molecule is the basic unit of a compound like O2, H2, N2.
Is CaO a polar covalent bond?
No. CaO is an ionic compound.
Select the statements that are true about electronegativity between elements and their type of bond?
If the difference in electronegativity is from 0.6 to 1.7, the bond will be polar and covalent.
