Elements are the simplest building blocks you can break matter down into using purely chemical methods. They are a pure substance made up from only one type of atom.

When you mix elements together these form compounds. The important difference is that as they are a mixture of more than one type of element, they CAN be broken down into more simple substances using chemical means!
