A substance is any matter, any material which has mass and occupies space. As far as a specific substance, a material has a specific constitution.
An element is a pure substance which cannot be broken down into (or synthesized by) other substances.
For example, water is a substance, but water itself is the result of the union of two other elements, hydrogen and oxygen.
An element cannot be made by joining other substances together (example, gold).
