C+O+O=CO2 (two different elements) so a compound.

CO2=1 part carbon and 2 parts oxygen, the carbon and oxygen themselves are elements, and it is a compound.
Compound, because its made of more then one element, carbon and oxygen. Probably best described as a molecule because it is made of covalent bonds, however.
