Almost anything you see and/or touch is an element or a compound. All of those above are compounds. Copper metal, lead metal, aluminum metal are elements. The tires on cars, all plastics, knives, forks, spoons, the water you drink (H2O), the soda you drink, the food you eat, the gasoline for cars and airplanes,---all are compounds.
