Elements and compounds are related in sense that elements bond together chemically to make compounds. A compound can be broken down into pure elements.
Example. Water (H20), Is Hydrogen (pure element) and Oxygen (also pure element) bonded together to form a compound (H20).
However, while a compound can be broken down into its simple elements, an element cannot be broken down. It is said that an element is the purest whole form.

Some common substances include both elements (pure elements) and compounds. Air, for example, contains elements such as nitrogen and oxygen, and also compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is made from carbon and oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
What do you get when you mix an element with a compound?
When you mix an element with a compound, a chemical reaction may occur. The element may react with the compound to form a new compound or may remain unchanged depending on the reactivity of the elements involved.
What is the smallest particle (a)element (b) compound?
An element is a part of a compound.
How do the basic particles of a compound Differ from the basic particle of an element?
If you think to atoms they are similar. But in compounds atoms can form ions.
Is platinum an element or an compound?
It is an element.
What do you get when you mix a element with a compound?
When you mix an element with a compound, the element will interact with the components of the compound but will not form a new compound itself. It may bond to some parts of the compound or remain unchanged depending on the specific elements and compounds involved in the mixture.
Can compounds composed of the same element have similar or dissimilar properties?
a compound composed of all the same elements would be a pure element. not a compound! a compound is when there is 2 or more atoms chemically bonded together. different compounds do have similar properties - they all have 2 or more atoms of elements chemically bonded together and they often react in similar way too.
What is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances?
A substance that cannot be broken down is a pure substance
Is hydroden peroxide an element or compound?
Hydrogen peroxide is a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms (H2O2). It is not an element.
Is sulfur element compound or mixture?
element. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a compound
Is KCl an element or compound?
KCl is a compound not an element.
Is hellium element compound or a mixture?
First of all you have mispelled it as 'hellium' . It is 'HELIUM'. It is an element. It atomic No. is '2' , so therefore it is found in position number '2' in the Periodic Table, as 'He'. It is neither a compound nor a mixture. The chemical symbol for helium is 'He '. It's Atomic Mass is '4' It is compsed of 2 protons, 2 neutrons and two electrons. It is the MOST Noble(Inert) of all the elements. It does NOT react with anything. Therefore it exists 'monatomically' (single atoms). Its condensing point is 7 K ( - 266 oC) (Becomes a liquid) Its freezing point is 4 K . ( - 269 oC) (becomes a solid). The name 'helium' is from Classical Greece, and means 'from the Sun'(Helios), because two hydrogen atoms fuse together in the Sun , they form 'Helium'.
Is berylium a compound or an element?
Beryllium is an element. It is not a compound
Is cornstarch a compound or element?
cornstarch is a compound element.
Is an element a mixture a compound or a element?
Mixture
What must an element be in order to replace another element in a compound?
An element must have similar chemical properties and valency as the element it is replacing in order to replace it in a compound. This ensures that the chemical reaction remains balanced and the new compound formed is stable.
When can a compound be treated like element when balancing chemical equations?
A compound can be treated as an element when balancing chemical equations if it is a polyatomic ion that remains unchanged throughout the reaction. This is done to simplify the equation by treating the polyatomic ion as a single entity, similar to how an element is treated.
How do you test if something is an element or a compound?
if it dissolves its a compound if not its an element.
