Elements can not be broken down.
When an element reacts with another element, they form a compound. How a compound is formed has to do with the number of valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons which are held in the outer most energy level.
a compound
The compound MgCl2 is known as magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride is a naturally occurring element that can be found in salt water and brine. It is used primarily for dust and ice control.
A single-replacement reaction
a molecule of an elemnt has only one element in it[ duh!!] like for eg. oxygen is O2 and hydrogen is H2. a molecule of a compound has more than one element in it, for example water H2O, HCl , NaCl etc etc
It is a compound. It represents a chemical reaction, which makes it a compound.
It is a compound. It represents a chemical reaction, which makes it a compound.
If something is not a mixture then it is a pure substance, either an element or a compound.

Single-displacement reaction
When one element replaces another element in a compound during a chemical reaction
Oxygen is a chemical element.
its a product
chemical reaction
A reaction in which an elementary substance displaces and sets free a constituent element from a compound.
it is a compound, an element is a substance which can not be broken down into anything else through chemical processes
Titanium burns (chemically reacts) in nitrogen to form titanium nitride. As a chemical reaction, the substance is a compound, not an element.
