Answer 2

The difference between elements and compounds is -

1. Elements are made up of one mind or atom. They are pure and basic substances. Compounds contain multiple atoms sharing bonds with each other.
2. Elements have specific atoms only while compounds may have one type of atom or multiple types of atoms.
3. Elements have symbols for their representation. Compounds have formulas formed by combining the name of constituent elements of compounds.
4. Elements are most basic and hence cannot be broken down. Compounds can be broken down into elements.
5. Elements are limited in number while the count for compounds is huge.
6. Example of element is aluminum, sodium etc. Example of compound is sodium silicate, aluminium hydroxide etc.
