∙ 12y agono because a element is pure and made up of one atom. a compound is a two or more chemical elements which has reacted and bonded together.

What is heterogeneous mixtures often separated by?
chemical compounds can be separated into their component elements by physical means like sifting or filtering
Why is matter a pure substance?
Matter is a pure substance if it can only be separated by chemical means, NOT physical means. This could be a compound or an element. The opposite is a mixture which can be separated/broken into smaller parts by physical means.
What substance can be separated into simpler substances only by chemical means?
A mixture There are four types of mixtures: Alloy - homogenous metalic solid Solution - homogenous mix of two or more substances (not all metals) Suspention - not evenly mixed and will separate if left alone Colloid - Sorry, I always forget what this one is
What other than physical means can matter be separated?

Why can't elements be separated into smaller parts using chemicals means?
Two reasons: # Smaller than a single atom of an element, it ceases to be an element. # The energies available to chemical means is a million times too small to break apart an atom of an element (the nucleus) to "smaller parts".
