Elements are the simplest form of matter and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Each element is made up of one type of atom, distinguished by its unique number of protons in the nucleus.
Compounds, on the other hand, are formed when two or more different elements chemically bond together. These elements combine in fixed ratios to form compounds with unique chemical properties different from the elements that make them up.
So, in summary, elements are made up of a single type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms bonded together.
