Question

differance between compound and element atleast 7 points in it

Tripti · Accepted Answer

Solution

Sl No
Differentiating Property
Element
Compound

1
Definition
Elements are pure substances which are composed of only one
type of atom
Compound are substances which are formed by two or more
different types of elements that are united chemically in fixed
proportions

2
Total Numbers
There are nearly 118 elements (at present) of which nearly 94
occur naturally on Earth
Compounds are almost endless

3
Types
Elements are classified as either metals, nonmetals or
metalloids
Compounds are classified according to their bonds which can be
ionic, molecular or metallic

4
Examples
Some of the examples of elements are Iron, Copper, Gold,
etc
A few examples of compounds are NaOH, NaCl, etc

5
Representation
Elements are represented by symbols and numbers For example,
Sodium is represented by Na
Compounds are represented by their chemical formula For
example, salt is represented by the formula NaCl

6
Distinguished By
Elements can be distinguished by their atomic number
Distinguished by their fixed ratio of different elements
(arranged in a defined manner)

7
Composition and Property
As only one type of atoms makes up an element, all the
properties of that atom are represented by its atom
In the case of compounds, the same type of molecules makes up
the compound

8
Ability to Breakdown
Elements cannot be broken down by chemical reactions
Compounds can be easily separated into simpler substances by
chemical reactions
