Answer 2

$\huge\green{Elements:-}$

1. Element is made up of only one kind of atoms, e.g. hydrogen element (H₂) is made up of only hydrogen atoms (H).
2. Elements have their own set of properties e.g. the element (H) is self- combustible and oxygen (O) supports combustion.
3. Elements cannot be broken down into two or more simpler substances by physical or chemical means.

$\huge\orange{Compounds:-}$

1. The compound is made of two or more kinds of atoms. For example, Water (H₂O). It contains atoms of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).
2. The properties of compounds differ from their components. Water (H₂O) is neither combustible nor supporter of combustion.
3. The compounds can be broken down into two or more simple substance by chemical means.
