You can make a huge number of different paintings from a palette of a small number of different paints.
The electron configurations that surround and control the behaviour of the hundred or so elements control the properties of the compounds that they can form.
or perhaps consider the number of stories that can be composed on a typewriter with 26 keys...

What else can I help you with?
Why is there greater variety of compounds than of elements and atoms?
i dont same Q ive been lookin 4
What are low and high z materials?
In materials science, "low z" refers to elements with low atomic number, such as carbon, silicon, and oxygen. "High z" materials, on the other hand, refer to elements with high atomic number, such as lead, uranium, and gold. Low z materials are typically lighter and more abundant, while high z materials are denser and often have unique properties due to their higher atomic number.
Are there any materials which aren't made up of elements?
No. Everything is made up of atoms, and an atom always has a certain number of protons, which defines what element it is. Electron, protons, and neutrons aren't made up of elements.
How does the total number of elements compare to the total number of compounds?
There are a bit more than 100 elements however there are far, far more than 100 millions compounds, each day more compounds are produced, there are a lot of compounds with unknown structure, not having official names. So the ratio is much bigger than 1 to a million
Are elements materials?
Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. They are the basic building blocks of matter and are composed of atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus. Examples of elements include oxygen, carbon, and iron.
Is the far few materials are elements than are not elements?
The far fewer materials are elements than are not elements. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom, while most materials are combinations of different elements (compounds) or mixtures of elements and compounds. There are 118 known elements, but an infinite number of possible combinations of those elements.
Is a set whose elements can be counted or has a limited number of elements?
A finite set or a countably infinite set.

What is the possible number of symmetric relations on a set of 5 elements?
The number is 5! = 120
Do any two elements have the same atomic number?
no that's not possible
What are low and high z materials?
In materials science, "low z" refers to elements with low atomic number, such as carbon, silicon, and oxygen. "High z" materials, on the other hand, refer to elements with high atomic number, such as lead, uranium, and gold. Low z materials are typically lighter and more abundant, while high z materials are denser and often have unique properties due to their higher atomic number.
Is it true the number of elements in the sample space of an event is equal to the total number of possible outcomes?
true
How Is it possible for the atoms of different elements to have the same mass numbers?
It is possible only because of different number of neutrons.
Roughly how many elements are there?
90 naturally occurring elements, unknown number possible elements.
What is the possible number of reflexive relations on a set of 5 elements?
2 power 20
It is possible for the atoms of two different elements to have the same number of electrons?
Yes, if they are both ions
Are there any materials which aren't made up of elements?
No. Everything is made up of atoms, and an atom always has a certain number of protons, which defines what element it is. Electron, protons, and neutrons aren't made up of elements.
