Best Answer

metals like iron, copper, gold, silver and such cannot be broken down to simpler molecules. They are they're own molecules. If you mean what is their makeup, they're "made" of atoms.

Most metals used by industries and people in general are compounds of different elements, which change (obviously) the composion of the metal, for different uses.
