First some background...
An element is anything with only one type of atom.
In terms of Chemical structure, any time you see more than one capital letter (like H2O) that automatically it has more than one element, or more than one kind of atom.
So some examples:
H2O (Water)
NaCl (Salt)
C3H8 (Propane)
SiO2 (Sand)
C12H22O11 (Sugar)
Where two elements or compunds are next to each other (in contact with) and are not reacting. Like when you mix salt and sugar. (Solutions are when there is a substance mixed in and dissolved into another substance).
Elements may be chemically combined to form what we call compounds, which are combinations of two or more elements. Salt=NaCl Sugar=C6H1206
A couple of examples would be salt water and sugar water. The salt and sugar dissolve in the water, but still exist as smaller molecules (or in salt's case, as sodium and chlorine ions) among the water molecules.
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. Most pure substances are compounds A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. Most pure substances are compoundsA compound is something that has two or more atoms bound together. An example would be water, glucose, alcohol, vinegar.
Usual table salt requires two chemical elements to exists (Na+, Cl-).
Gold and Nitrogen are elements, not compounds of elements like "Air" or "Table Salt."
A compound is a substance consisting of two or more elements. Table salt, NaCl, includes the elements of Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl). Therefore, it consists of two elements, making it a compound.

Hydrogen and Oxygen are only two elements in water
Sodium Chloride, (NaCl).
Where two elements or compunds are next to each other (in contact with) and are not reacting. Like when you mix salt and sugar. (Solutions are when there is a substance mixed in and dissolved into another substance).
Pure substance can be identified as either elements or compounds. Some examples of pure substance that are elements are sulfur and tin. Pure substances that are compounds are sugar and salt.
Salt is a pure substance, i.e. it is an ionic compound consisting of two elements sodium and Chlorine. The formula is NaCl.
Elements may be chemically combined to form what we call compounds, which are combinations of two or more elements. Salt=NaCl Sugar=C6H1206
Table salt is sodium chloride made from the elements Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl).
Table salt, sodium chloride, is both a compound and a substance. You should understand that the word substance is a very general term. Elements, compounds, or mixtures, all qualify as substances. All matter is made up of substances of some kind. Whereas a compound is a specific kind of substance, one that is composed of the chemical combination of two or more elements.
oxygen, salt, etc. there are many types of elements and compounds. you can look in the inter net for more.
