The video explains the difference between elements and compounds. Elements are pure substances made of one type of atom and cannot be broken down further. They are organized on the periodic table by their number of protons. Compounds are substances formed by chemically combining two or more elements, resulting in new properties. Examples include water and glucose, which have specific ratios of elements. The video concludes with the importance of compounds in everyday life.
