Yes my friends. All elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down. However, pure substances aren't all elements.

The primary substances of which all other things are composed are elements or molecules?

Elements are the primary substances that make up all matter, and they cannot be broken down into simpler substances. Molecules are combinations of two or more atoms bonded together, which can also be components of matter. Both elements and molecules play a crucial role in the composition of all things in the physical world.


What are substances that are the building blocks of matter?

Substances that are the building blocks of matter are known as elements. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom. These atoms combine to form all the different kinds of matter in the universe.

There are more non-elements than elements. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, while non-elements can encompass a wide range of substances such as compounds, mixtures, and other forms of matter that are not elements.


What is the definiton of elements?

Elements are pure substances that can not be separated into simpler substances by physically or chemical means.Compounds are pure substances composed of two or more elements that have been chemically combined.Mixtures are a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.


How is a substance different from an element?

There are two types of substances: elements and compunds. Elements cannot be separated into simpler substances while compunds can. Take for example iron, pure iron is made of iron atoms, and they can't be divided into simpler substances, as such, iron is an element. On the other hand, salt is a substance that CAN be separated into sodium and chloride, so salt is a compound (and since sodium and chloride can't be furtherly separated they are elements). So, an element IS a substance, but not all substances are elements.
