  This has been explained nicely on this site. First $3$ is prime in $Bbb Q(i)$, see here. In $Bbb Q(sqrt6)$ however, $3=(3+sqrt6)(3-sqrt6)$. For an almost duplicate of this, see here.

  You probably mean $mathbbZ[i]$ and $mathbbZ[sqrt6]$ instead?

We're working in general rings, not just in $mathbbZ$, which is where you first encountered the notion of a prime element.

An element $p$ of a (commutative unitary) ring $R$ is prime iff $forall x,y in R: p | xy implies p|x text or p|y$. Because we quantify over $R$ this very much depends on the ring we're working in. And (confusingly?) $3=1+1+1$ is a member of $mathbbZ$, $mathbbZ[i]$ and $mathbbZ[sqrt6]$ and many more rings and for all of these we can ask "is $3$ prime in that ring"? and we get different answers for different rings.
