Best Answer

Only if it is a compound, as a compound is a pure substance that can be broken down into simpler pure substances by chemicalmeans. The decomposition of a substance is a chemical process that breaks down a compound into simpler substances or its constituent elements. So, by definition, the answer is yes. However, if the pure substance was an element, the answer would be no. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into any simpler substances by chemical means. It is a pure substance in which every atom present has the same atomic number.
