Which statement correctly describes how an elementb differs a compound?

Answer 1

An element is any of the many atoms that can be found on the Periodic Table of the Elements. A compound is a combination of two or more of those elements by atoms binding together.

Answer 2

An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance composed of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined in a fixed ratio. Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, whereas compounds can be broken down into their constituent elements through chemical reactions.
