Okay Elements can combine to created element compounds a few examples can be lets say Gold(Au) Is an example of an Iconic Compound (usually a common compound). An Element Mixture is literal a mixture Ex. Brass. Brass is usually 10% copper and 45% zinc. So in order to get Brass you must physically mix copper with zinc and the other metal (sorry i don't remember the name) Also mixtures tend to not be chemically constant, this is because it was physically mixed rather than all of the atoms be the same if they were chemically combined.
