How is a element is different from a compound?
Elements can be broken down into smaller pieces: a compounds smallest particle is a molecule
Can atoms be broken down into different elements?
No.
The smallest particles into which an element may be broken down without changing the identity of the elements are?
Quarks
Why cant you see the ingredients of a solution?
Because in a solution the ingredients are broken into smaller possible particles
An element cannot be easily broken down into other smaller materials with different?
a element can not be broken down in to smaller such materials

Can compounds be broken down into smaller substances?
Yes, only elements cannot be broken down to smaller substances.
What cannot be broken down into simpler components?
Time and Mass. All particles can be broken down into smaller particles endlessly.
What are the basic particles that make up matter?
The smallest, most basic particles that still have the characteristics of the individual elements (oxygen, gold, carbon, uranium, potassium and many others) are called atoms. An atom of gold is still gold. Once you take any of these atoms apart, you have particles that are common to all elements. The protons in an atom of gold are exactly the same as the protons in an atom of oxygen. The sub-atomic particles, the protons, neutrons and electrons of ordinary atoms, can be broken down into smaller and smaller particles. As we build more and more powerful devices, we find that particles can be broken into smaller and smaller components. I don't believe we yet know where that process will end. This is bringing us to the very limits of what is called particle physics.
What are some attributes of nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission (as opposed to nuclear fusion) is the process in which a atom is broken into smaller pieces (other smaller atoms). This is different from nuclear decay, in which an unstable particle emits particles in an attempt to become more stable. Nuclear fission can be done on any element, other then hydrogen, however it will not yield energy for anything smaller then Iron. When a large particle, like Uranium, is broken into fissile elements, they don't always break the same way. So you would not always get the same particles. These fissile particles fly off and strike another atom, and break it into pieces and the reaction continues.
Substances that cannot be broken down by chemical?
From a chemical point of view, as substance that cannot be broken down is an element. The view taken by physicists is different, as they are dealing with subatomic particles, which are made up of other things.
Can atoms be broken down into different elements?
No.

Can a compound be broken up into smaller parts?
Yes. that is how the compounds are formed. By combination of the elements.
What do compounds have that allows them to be broken down into smaller chemicals?
compounds have molecules that can be made up of different elements. For example NaCl is a compound and it has NaCl molecules but it is made up of Na(sodium) and Cl(chlorine) which are the elements
