Answer:

Compounds include more than one kind of atom.

They can be broken into elements.

Elements are pure materials containing one type of atom.  

These can't be broken into further smaller units as these themselves are the smallest fundamental chemical unit. (Theoretically, you could, but you'd need an unimaginable amount of energy to do so.)
