Can matter be taking apart?
Yes. Physically, most things in the universe can be physically broken apart with enough force. Chemically, most substances can be broken down into simpler elements. Atomically, the nuclei of atoms can be split into smaller atoms of different elements while releasing enormous amounts of energy.
Can a compound be broken down into a simpler element?
This question is somewhat tricky: A compound can be broken down into at least two simpler types of matter, its constituent elements, by chemical means. However, a compound can not be broken down into a single simpler type of matter by chemical means, because that would require the annihilation of at least one of its constituent elements. Such annihilation could be achieved only by nuclear reactions.
