Is a yellow solid that always has the same properties and cannot be broken down an element or compound?
A yellow solid that always has the same properties and cannot be broken down is most likely an element. Elements are made up of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Examples of yellow elements include sulfur and gold.
Can an element be broken down in a simpler substance?
In a word, no.
Explain why are carbon and copper classified as elements?
An element is a substance that cannot be broken down any further by chemical reactions. While carbon and copper readily combine with other elements to form compounds, they cannot themselves be broken down any further by a chemical reaction. The definition of element (for chemistry) is thus: one of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means What this means is if you take a substance, say .... sugar. You can put it through chemical processes that will reduce it down to its core components. For carbon from sugar, its simple: burn it. The hydrogen and oxygen will burn off as water vapor. Of course, even elements can be broken down, but not by chemical means. The use of a particle accelerator or nuclear fission is required, but I think we can all agree, that is by no means a "chemical" process. That's nuclear :)
What are characteristics of elements?
Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. They are made up of only one type of atom, each with its own unique properties and characteristics such as atomic number, mass, and chemical reactivity. Elements are organized in the periodic table based on their properties and atomic structure.
Is sugar water and element?
No, sugar water is not an element. Sugar water is a mixture composed of sugar (a compound) dissolved in water (a compound). Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
What is an substance that cannot be broken down?
An element is the only substance that cannot be broken down.
Substances that cannot be broken down by chemical mean?
Substances that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances are called elements.
Is a carbohydrate a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler elements?
No, it can be broken down.
What are substances that cannot be broken down by chemicals?
elements.
Elements and compounds cannot be broken down into simpler substances by an ordinary what?
Elements and compounds (pure substances) cannot be broken down by physical changes.
Substances that cannot be broken down into other substances are called?
elements
Substances that cannot be broken down chemically into substances are?
Elements.
If a substance cannot be broken down into simpler substances it is?
Its Elements
If a substance cannot be broken down by heat the substance is an element?
No. Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances in a chemical reaction.
Which substance cannot be broken down by a chemical change?
All of the elements of the Periodic Table cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
What substances cannot be broken down into any other substances by physical or chemical means?
All substances can be broken into any other substances (or elements) by chemical or physical methods.
Which of the following cannot be broken down into different elements?
A compound cannot be broken down into different elements. This is because compounds are made of two or more different elements chemically combined in fixed ratios. An example of a compound is water (H2O), which is made of hydrogen and oxygen.
