With compound interest, you earn interest on the interest. Basically the interest payments are reinvested into the account whereas with simple interest, you only earn interest on the original balance. The interest payments are kept separate of the balance that you invested i.e.: with a bond, the interest payments don't go into a balance, you just get a check for them or rather your broker receives the check on your behalf and deposits it into your money market account which is separate from the bond that you purchased.
