An atom is the building block for matter. It consists of electrons, protons, and neutrons.

An element is one of the elements you would find on the periodic table. Think of Oxygen

A compound is elements that are bound together that are held by chemical bonds. Think of H2O (water)

A mixture is a mixture of combining two different things, and can usually be separated back into its original components. Think of sand and magnets
