An element is a stand alone type of particle that is not bonded with any other element. A compound is a group of elements chemically bonded together like water being H2O and can only be separated by chemical means. A mixture is a group of compounds mixed together but they are not chemically bound to each other and can be separated by non-chemical means. The banana is made up of many compounds but is itself not a compound as those compounds are not bonded together chemically and can be mechanically separated. This makes the banana a mixture.
