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.
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.
An element is a part of a compound.
If you think to atoms they are similar. But in compounds atoms can form ions.
It is an element.
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.
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.
A substance that cannot be broken down is a pure substance
Hydrogen peroxide is a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms (H2O2). It is not an element.
element. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a compound
KCl is a compound not an element.
cornstarch is a compound element.
Beryllium is an element. It is not a compound
Mixture
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.
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.
To calculate the grams of an element in a compound, you need to find the molar mass of the element and the compound. Then, use the formula: (mass of element/molar mass of compound) x molar mass of element. This will give you the grams of the element in the compound.
if it dissolves its a compound if not its an element.
