The first step in breaking up a compound leads to chemical elements. Breaking up an element leads only to subatomic particles.
You misunderstand!!!! a compound is broken down into its elemental atoms.
In the appropriate situation, all compounds are broken down into simpler substances.
Yes, only elements cannot be broken down to smaller substances.
Compounds cannot be broken down physically but can be broken down chemically.
Elements and compounds (pure substances) cannot be broken down by physical changes.
