Both elements and compounds are pure elements.
[tex]\huge{ \mathtt {Elements}}[/tex]:
Elements consist only one type of atom. It is represented using chemical symbols.
[tex]\large\boxed{ \mathtt {Examples}}[/tex]:
- Hydrogen atoms (H)
- Carbon atoms (C)
- Oxygen atoms (O)
[tex]\huge{ \mathtt {Compounds}}[/tex]:
Compounds consist of two or more elements chemically bonded at a fixed proportion. It is represented using chemical formula that represents the symbol of this constituent elements and the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the compound.
[tex]\large\boxed{ \mathtt {Examples}}[/tex]
- Carbon and Oxygen chemically combined to form Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
