Kindly check explanation.

Explanation:

So, without mincing words the solution to this particular Question is given below:

First, an ELEMENT is a that entity that has what is known as the atoms. Although, there might be more elements but the recognized elements are group into the periodic table/chart. Examples of elements are Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, carbon, Nitrogen, oxygen, Fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, Aluminium and so on.

A COMPOUND consist of different elements that are chemically combined. Examples of compounds are; H2O, CaCO3, H2SO4, HNO3, MgCl2, NaCl, HCl and many more.

Also, elements has the same atoms while componds have different number of atoms since it is a combination of elements.

Finally, ELEMENTS can not be broken down through the use of chemical process while COMPONDS can be broken down through chemical processes.

To the second part of the question. The box that will represent elements will contain balls of the same colors and the balls are not joined together.
