An element refers to a single atom. A compound is two or more different kinds of elements bonded together. The key phrase for compound is "different kinds." For example O3 (ozone) is a molecule, but it is not a compound because it only contains one type of element.

Elements are substances in their purest forms. A compound is composed of two or more elements. It is important to note a compound is composed of fixed proportions of elements.

atoms and factors r somewhat a similar element and atom is the smallest area of an element on a similar time as conserving its homes , u could have a million atom of an element or billions(to the element while its seen a compound is a formation of factors it somewhat is a diatom like (di)oxygen, an oxygen and an oxygen purely so u understand ions contain metals and nonmetals molecules have purely nonmetals no such element as a steel steel bond, there's a steel bond yet thats extra of an alloy(steel combination) or it somewhat is an ion like salt, NaCl or a molecule like ammonia, NH3
