Question

write a difference between of element and compounds​

Answer 1

Answer:

A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio.An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom. ... Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio arranged in a defined manner through chemical bonds.

Answer 2

ELEMENT:-

1) Elements are pure substances which are composed of only one type of atom.

2) There are nearly 118 elements (at present) of which nearly 94 occur naturally on Earth.

3) Elements are classified as either metals, nonmetals or metalloids.

4) Some of the examples of elements are Iron, Copper, Gold, etc.

5) Elements are represented by symbols and numbers. For example, Sodium is represented by Na.

6) Elements can be distinguished by their atomic number.

7 ) As only one type of atoms makes up an element, all the properties of that atom are represented by its atom.

8)Elements cannot be broken down by chemical reactions.

COMPOUND:-

1) Compound are substances which are formed by two or more different types of elements that are united chemically in fixed proportions.

2) Compounds are almost endless.

3) Compounds are classified according to their bonds which can be ionic, molecular or metallic.

4) A few examples of compounds are NaOH, NaCl, etc.

5) Compounds are represented by their chemical formula. For example, salt is represented by the formula NaCl.

6) Distinguished by their fixed ratio of different elements (arranged in a defined manner).

7) In the case of compounds, the same type of molecules makes up the compound.

8) Compounds can be easily separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions.
