How is compound XY different from elements X and Y?

Compound XY contains the different atoms of X and Y while elements X and Y both contains the same atoms of X and Y respectively.

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

An element is a substance that is composed of atoms of the same kind. For example, element X contains only atoms of X while element Y contains only atoms of Y. On the other hand, a compound is a substance made from the chemical combination of two or more elements, hence, a compound combines different atoms. This is the case of Compound XY as it contains different atoms of different elements.

Therefore, Compound XY is different from elements X and Y in the sense that Compound XY contains two different atoms from different elements (X and Y) while both elements X and Y are individually made up of only one type of atom each i.e. element X contain X atoms only and element Y contain Y atoms only.
