Are all substances are elements?

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


What are substances are made of atom?

Substances are made of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of matter. Atoms are composed of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons that orbit the nucleus. Each element is made up of a specific type of atom, determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.


All substances are made from these?

Atoms! All matter is composed of atoms. Whether it's a pure sample of an element, a compound, or a mixture; solid, liquid, or gas, it all comes down to atoms. The word atom was coined by a Greek thinker named Democritus, who was the first to theorize that all matter was made up of some kind of indivisible particle, which he called "atomos," meaning indivisible. Thanks, Democritus!


What substances are made up of glucose units only?

Glycogen and starch are two substances made from repeating units of glucose.


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.
