In a word, no.
Atoms can be separated into neutrons, protons, and electrons. Below that Atoms are made of quarks and gluons.
No, an element cannot be broken down into its constituents by ordinary chemical reactions.
Such processes are very complicated.
No, elements by definition are the simplest form of themselves unable to be easily reduced further.
An element can not be broken down into a simpler chemicalsubstance, but it can be broken down into subatomic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons.
No. That's what an element is. The simplest substance that can chemically be broken down.
No, but a compound can.
A substance that can not be decomposed into simpler substance by a chemical or physical means is a chemical element.
If the above didn't answer your question, a substance that can be broken down into simpler substances is called a compound. Even the simplest compounds can be broken down into individual elements.
an element is a pure substance that can not be broken down further into other atoms and lithium can not be broken down further making it an element
That is probably an atom, if you are talking about an element as a substance. Protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom can be broken even further into simpler parts called quarks. Breaking down a proton or neutron in the center of an atom doesn't really mean you're splitting the atom; just its parts. So, your answer would probably be an atom.If further questions, report to a science book or reputable chemistry source immediately! lol ;)
Yes
Copper is an element and can not be broken down to a simpler substance.
An element.
In a word, no.
No.
In a word, no.
An element.
an element
No, it is an element.
An element cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by chemical means.
A substance that cannot be broken down is a pure substance
an element is a substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler form by chemical means
If an unknown substance cannot be broken down into simpler substances it is made of one kind of atom and an element.
