A pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical means?
A substance that can not be decomposed into simpler substance by a chemical or physical means is a chemical element.
What do you call a substance that can be split up into simpler substances?
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.
Why is lithium metal described as an element?
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
What is a pure substance that can't be broken down by a chemical reaction?
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 ;)
