What is an element?

The simplest substance which makes up all other compounds is called an element.
An element is a pure substance made up of atoms with the same number of protons and nuclei.
Unlike a compound, an element cannot be further broken down into its constituent parts.
Carbon is an element as it satisfies the aforementioned criteria.

What is a compound?

A compound is a substance made up of atoms of two or more elements, held together by chemical bonds.
A compound can be broken down to get its constituent elements.
Compounds can broadly be divided into 4 types based on the bonds holding the elements together:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a covalent compound as the 2 pairs of electrons are shared between carbon and the 2 oxygen atoms.

Hence, carbon dioxide is a compound due to its composition.
