Elemnts are pure in the sense that they are mad eup of one thing and can't be simplified. An element is determined by how many protons it contains, if you change the number of protons (atomic number) you change the element. Compounds are more then one element ionicly or covalently bonded together. Water, H2O, is a compound and can be broken down into 2 hydrogens and one oxygen.
