What is the difference between an element and a compound?

Elements and compounds are both types of substances, but they differ in their composition and structure. To begin, an element is a pure substance that consists of only one type of atom, due to this you can identify an element as only a sphere.

On the other hand, a compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements chemically combine in fixed ratios. Due to this, you can identify compounds as two or more circles of different colors linked.
