Answer:
Explanation:
Elements
Microscopic view of atoms of an element (gas phase). Microscopic view of molecules of an element (gas phase).
Microscopic view of the atoms of the element argon (gas phase). Microscopic view of the molecules of the element nitrogen (gas phase).
Note that an element:
consists of only one kind of atom,
cannot be broken down into a simpler type of matter by either physical or chemical means, and
can exist as either atoms (e.g. argon) or molecules (e.g., nitrogen).
A molecule consists of two or more atoms of the same element, or different elements, that are chemically bound together. Note that the two nitrogen atoms which comprise a nitrogen molecule move as a unit.
Compounds
Microscopic view of molecules of a compound (gas phase).
Microscopic view of the molecules of the compound water (gas phase). Oxygen atoms are red and hydrogen atoms are white.
Note that a compound:
consists of atoms of two or more different elements bound together,
can be broken down into a simpler type of matter (elements) by chemical means (but not by physical means),
has properties that are different from its component elements, and
always contains the same ratio of its component atoms.
Mixtures
Microscopic view of a mixture of two elements and a compound (gas phase).
Microscopic view of a gaseous mixture containing two elements (argon and nitrogen) and a compound (water).
Note that a mixture:
consists of two or more different elements and/or compounds physically intermingled,
can be separated into its components by physical means, and
often retains many of the properties of its components.
