Why there are more substances on Earth than are listed on the periodic table of elements?

The periodic table is a list of elements - substances made up of only one type of atom. Carbon dioxide (for example) isn't on the periodic table because it is made up of two different atoms - oxygen (O) and Carbon (C) both oxygen and carbon are on the periodic table because they cant be broken down into other substances. A substance which is made up of 1 single atom type is an Element. These are on the periodic table. A substance which is made up of two different atom types is a Compound. These are not on the periodic table, however all the 'ingredients' making them up are on the periodic table.
