An element is a pure substance that cannot be converted further into anything simpler than itself by any physical or chemical process.
A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in a fixed ratio by mass.
Thus, zinc is an element and zinc sulphide contains both zinc and sulphur. So, zinc sulphide is a compound.
