an element
All of the elements of the Periodic Table cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
Non-metals during a chemical combinations tend to gain electrons. Metals in chemical reactions will tend to lose their electrons easily.
No, though it is not easily irreversible like chemical reactions it is mainly a physical change, unless your car set in fire. (Burning is chemical)
Chemical reactions are a result of valence electron transfer and/or sharing. Valence electrons are located in the outer-most orbitals of the reactant elements. In a sense, though, you could say protons are also involved in chemical reactions. Although an element will never donate, accept, or share protons in a CHEMICAL reaction, they are part of the determination in an elements reactivity. Reactions that do involve protons are termed "nuclear reactions," and are not chemical reactions. In fact, a lot of the methods used to determine chemical reactions -- such as enthalpy -- cannot even be applied to nuclear reactions. Neutrons, like protons are involved in nuclear reactions, but never in chemical reactions. Hope this helps!
All mixtures can be separated easily, chemical reactions cannot.
Matter that does not enter chemical reactions is described as inert. This type of matter cannot be altered by chemical reactions.
an element
Atoms cannot be added or lost in a chemical reaction.
Elements cannot be split using chemical reactions.
A physical reaction is were the current substance can be changed in state and then changed back easily to it's previous state, a chemical reaction is the opposite, it is difficult to change it back to its previous state.
Acid-base reactions.
can the reaction between alkali and acid be reversed
An element
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
No they cannot. Chemical changes never ever go back.
Chemical reactions are abbreviated by their chemical equations.
