Answer:

c.

Explanation:

One of the main differences between an atom and an element is that an atom can be combined but an element cannot be combined. There are many combinations of atoms that make up different gases, liquids, and solids each with a unique makup. For example, water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H20). Elements are made up of only the same type of atom. For example, the element Hydrogen can only contain hydrogen atoms, while the element Carbon can only contain carbon atoms.
