False, because a compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements. It can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions.

Is hydrogen gas a compound?

NO!!!!! Hydrogen gas as represented in the Periodic Table has the symbol 'H'. As a gas it exists as the diatomic molecule (H2) (H - H) This is NOT a compound.

Is NaCl a element or compound?

Neither, as there is no such thing as NaC1. However, NaCl, eith a lowercase L is sodium chloride, a compound. Each symbol on the periodic table of elements represents an element and is either a capital letter by itself, like H, or a capital letter with a lower-case letter, like He. The molecules of a compound consist of more than one element, so the symbol of a compound will include more than one capital letter. A molecule can have more than one atom but still be an element as long as all of the atoms are of the same element. For example, ozone is a special form of the element oxygen; its symbol is O3.
