Elements are the simplest building blocks you can break matter down into using purely chemical methods. They are a pure substance made up from only one type of atom.
When you mix elements together these form compounds. The important difference is that as they are a mixture of more than one type of element, they CAN be broken down into more simple substances using chemical means!
As such Hydrogen or Oxygen cannot be simplified chemically (they are therefore elements), however dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or water!) is a mixture of these elements that can be broken down using chemical means and so is a compound...
What else can I help you with?
Would hydrogen and oxygen be considered an element or a compound?
Hydrogen and oxygen are both elements. When they combine to form water (H2O), then it becomes a compound.
Is hydrogen and oxygen a element or a compound together?
Hydrogen and oxygen together form a compound called water, which is a chemical substance composed of two different elements. Hydrogen and oxygen on their own are elements.
Which of these is a compound water nitrogen oxygen or hydrogen?
Water is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen and oxygen are elements on their own.
