compounds CAN be decomposed elements CANT
The answer would be Mercury because it is an element and can't be broken down by chemical means. but methane, ethanol and ammonia can be broken down by physical means because they are compounds.

What is the substance that cannot be broken down into other substances?
This is the atom of a chemical element, unbreakable by chemical methods.
What substances cannot be broken down into any other substances by physical or chemical means?
All substances can be broken into any other substances (or elements) by chemical or physical methods.
What methods do scientist use to determine if it is a physical or chemical change?
For a chemical change they analyze the new substances to prove there has been a change in the chemical composition. I am not sure about physical though.

Which substance cannot be broken down into simplier substances?
The atom cannot be broken by chemical methods.
What is An on the periodic table?
An element is a substance that cannot be broken into simpler substances by chemical methods, such as Neon or Oxygen.The Periodic Table contain all known chemical elements.
What substance cannot be broken down into less complex substance?
This is the atom of a chemical element (of course by chemical methods).
What is the pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means?
An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means. Atoms are the smallest particles in which an element can be divided and still retain its properties.
Can metal elements be broken down by physical or chemical methods?
Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into any simpler substances. Hence they cannot be broken down by chemical methods. They may change in appearance if physical methods, but chemically, they still remain as the element.
What substances cannot be broken down into any other substances by physical or chemical means?
All substances can be broken into any other substances (or elements) by chemical or physical methods.
What is mixture and substance?
in chemistry, chemical substance is a form of matters that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.it cannot be separated into components by physical separation methods. mixtures are the product of mechanical blending or mixing of chemical substance like elements and compounds ,without chemical bonding or other chemical change.
What methods do scientist use to determine if it is a physical or chemical change?
For a chemical change they analyze the new substances to prove there has been a change in the chemical composition. I am not sure about physical though.

Pure substance to be broken down into 2 or more substances by chemical reaction?
In biology (concerning macromolecules), a polymer can be broken down into simpler substances called monomers. However, the general answerwould be a"chemical compound".
