Elements and Compounds Quiz

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

• An element is made up of two or more different types of atoms, while a compound is made up of only one type of atom

• An element and a compound are the same thing

• An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.

• An element is a mixture of different types of atoms, while a compound is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom
