Propane is a Compound because it uses a combination of elements found on the periodic table of elements. Magnesium is found on the periodic table of elements, therefore making it an element. Please refer to the periodic table of elements.

A compound.
An element is something pure and simple like hydrogen or helium. A compound is something this is made up of elements.
