Answer (1)
1. Elements are the fundamental building blocks of matter and cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances.2. Compounds are formed from two or more elements chemically bonded together and can be broken down into those constituent elements through chemical reactions.3. Both elements (when in molecular form like O2) and compounds achieve stability through the formation of chemical bonds between their atoms.4. This refers to the number of known elements on the periodic table.5. Both elements and compounds are considered pure substances because they have a uniform and definite composition.6. Compounds are defined by the chemical combination of different elements in specific, fixed proportions.7. Both pure elements and pure compounds are homogeneous, meaning they have a uniform composition and properties throughout.8. Elements are composed solely of atoms with the same number of protons.9. Each element is uniquely represented by a chemical symbol. 10. Compounds are represented by chemical formulas that show the types and numbers of atoms present.
