Compounds like
C
O

are made of atoms put together to make stable molecules.
Elements like
O
2
are made of atoms put together to make stable molecules.
All Compounds are always made of atoms of different types to make molecules.
Elements when they are molecules are always made of atoms of the same type.
Many elements especially metals and Noble gases are not found as molecules, but as atoms only.
Metals often form metallic bonding where a sea of electrons holds numbers atoms together but not as molecules.
Noble gases ( group VIII A) rarely form molecules but are found as individual atoms.

Answer:

On first glance, elements and compounds might appear different, yet they share many similarities, like being made up of atoms and having bonds linking their atoms together. Elements and compounds also share the qualities of being both pure and homogeneous substances.
