Water is both an element and compound. It is one of the 5 elements in nature. It is a compound because it is composed of more that one element, 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen. This gives you H2O.
An element is the most basic and fundamental unit of a substance or material.
Density is the amount of space that atoms are compacted in a substance. The closer these atoms are, the more dense and more solid.
