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)
