Best Answer

The temperature of a substance does not change whether it is an element or a compound, though some substances will react when heated. White powder is not any particular substance. There are many substances that can come in the form of a white powders, but the only one that is an element is phosphorus. All the rest are compounds, though some of those may break down into their base elements when heated.
