An element is only made up of its protons, neutrons and electrons.
A compound is made up of elements.
A compound can be broken down into to its original elements easier than an element can be broken into its (protons, neutrons and electrons).

What 3 elements do all carbon compounds have in common?
There are 2 elements that all the organic compounds have. They are carbon and hydrogen. Most organic compounds contain oxygen.
What are the compounds of lithium?
Lithium is not a compound. It is element #3 on the Periodic Table of Elements.
How do the properties of metals differ from those of both ionic and molecular compounds?
Metals share properties such as: malleability, conductivity, strength and hardness. The reason properties of metals are different is because of metallic bonding. metals are made up of positively charged metal ions in a sea of delocalised electrons. This gives them the properties listed above. Ionic and molecular compounds are bonded in different ways. e.d ionic compounds are bonded in a rigid structure so it is brittle and non conductive
What are the three main points to John Daltons atomic theory?
1) elements are composed of atoms 2) atoms of same elements = 3) atoms of different elements not = 4) atoms fomr compounds in definite ratios H2O
Can carbonic acid be broken down into two elements?
No. Carbonic acid is a compound of 3 elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It will, however, readily break down into water and carbon dioxide, which are compounds.
Are compounds and elements a mixture?
No. Elements, compounds and mixtures are 3 different terms.
What 3 elements do all carbon compounds have in common?
There are 2 elements that all the organic compounds have. They are carbon and hydrogen. Most organic compounds contain oxygen.
What are 3 essential properties of every material?
elements and compounds
What are the 3 essential properties of every material?
elements and compounds
What are some covalent compounds with more than three elements?
Nucleic acids would be one example of a covalent compound with more than 3 elements. Proteins have more than 3 elements as well. Many organic compounds do, it is quite common.

What are the compounds of lithium?
Lithium is not a compound. It is element #3 on the Periodic Table of Elements.
Besides carbon name 3 other elements that make up most organic compounds?
Three other elements that make up most organic compounds are: 1. NITROGEN 2. HYDROGEN 3. OXYGEN
How do you determine whether a compound with more than two elements such as Al2(SO4)3 is ionic or covalent?
When the difference between the electronegativities of two elements is in the range 0-2 (Pauling system) the bond is covalent; generally compounds between nonmetals are covalent.
3 elements most often found in organic compounds?
Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen.
What are Five elements and five compounds that exist as gases at?
compounds:- 1.hp 2.hcl 3.hbr 4.hi 5.co elements:- 1.hydrogen 2.nitrogen 3.oxygen 4.fluorine 5.chorine
What is the charge of As as an ion?
It depends on the other elements attached to As. The charge could vary from -3 to +5 in its compounds.
