Two reasons: # Smaller than a single atom of an element, it ceases to be an element. # The energies available to chemical means is a million times too small to break apart an atom of an element (the nucleus) to "smaller parts".

Why cant compounds be broken down by physical processes?
Compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements which are chemically bonded. They can only be separated by using chemicals or other means. however mixture can be separated by physical means.
Can a compound be seperated into its consistent elements by physical methods?
Yes it can. Water, table salt, and sugar are all examples of compounds and can all be decomposed into simpler substances through physical means.^^ I believed that water and table salt would be a mixture, mixtures are the non-chemical means not compounds, with compounds there is a chemical change.
