what is the difference in an element and a compounds?

In vapor-liquid equilibrium in a binary mixture, both components are generally present in both phases. how many degrees of freedom are there for such a system? the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia occurs in the gas phase. how many degrees of freedom are there for this system? steam and coal react at high temperatures to form hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. the following reactions have been suggested as being involved in the chemical transformation:

In chemistry, the type of an atom (what element it is) is determined by: a) the number of protons it contains in its nucleus. b) the number of neutrons it contains in its nucleus. c) the number of protons it has in a cloud around the nucleus. d) the number of neutrons it has in a cloud around the nucleus. e) the number of electrons it exchanges with its neighbors.
