This question is somewhat tricky: A compound can be broken down into at least two simpler types of matter, its constituent elements, by chemical means. However, a compound can not be broken down into a single simpler type of matter by chemical means, because that would require the annihilation of at least one of its constituent elements. Such annihilation could be achieved only by nuclear reactions.

∙ 15y agoyes because it is a bunch of the same type of elements made together but you would just get more of the same type of atom.
