The only similarity elements and compounds share are that they're the building blocks of matter. Their differences are that elements are are made of only one type of periodic element. Compounds are made of at least two periodic elements bonded together. For example, salt is a compound of sodium-chloride and the helium in balloons is made up entirely of helium molecules.

What can be made of atoms that are different or atoms that are alike?
Atoms that are alike can form elements, while atoms that are different can combine to form compounds. Elements are substances made up of only one type of atom, whereas compounds are made up of different types of atoms bonded together in specific ratios.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
Can two completely different compounds contain identical elements?
No. The chemical formulas for the two compounds would be different as the ratios were different. For example there are three different oxides of iron which obviously contain the same two elements but these are in different ratios:- FeO Fe3O4 Fe2O3
Where are elements listed and why compounds are not found there?
Elements are listed in the Periodic Table of Elements. Compounds are not listed there because they are not elements they are compounds. An element is a substance made up of one type of atom, compounds are formed from combinations of different elements.
Do compounds of different elements have similar properties?
Compounds of different elements can have different properties because their properties are determined by the arrangement and interactions of the atoms within the compound. The types and numbers of elements present in a compound will influence its physical and chemical properties.
What can be made of atoms that are different or atoms that are alike?
Atoms that are alike can form elements, while atoms that are different can combine to form compounds. Elements are substances made up of only one type of atom, whereas compounds are made up of different types of atoms bonded together in specific ratios.
Why are the compounds not found on the periodic table of elements?
its when too atoms are alike
How are mixtures and compound alike and different?
Mixtures and compounds are alike in the manner that they are made up of two or more different parts. They are different in the manner, that a compound usually consists of elements being chemically altered, and in a mixture the substances are just combined.
How is a compound and mixture alike?
Mixtures and compounds are alike in the manner that they are made up of two or more different parts. They are different in the manner, that a compound usually consists of elements being chemically altered, and in a mixture the substances are just combined.
Are compounds and elements a mixture?
No. Elements, compounds and mixtures are 3 different terms.
How are compounds alike?
Compound are all alike because they all have two elements combined together like iron+sulfide=ironsulfide
How are elements different?
Salts are chemical compounds not elements.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
Are neutrons in the atoms of different elements alike?
neutrons of all atoms are alike
How were some of the elements alike and different?
They are all Elements and They are diiferent substances
Is . true about compounds?
properties of compounds are different than elements
How are all compounds alike?
Compound are all alike because they all have two elements combined together like iron+sulfide=ironsulfide
