What elements make up Iodine?
Iodine IS an element itself, it cannot be broken down further.
What are characteristics of elements?
The characteristics of elements are that they cannot be broken down any further by chemical means. They differ by the number of protons in their nuclei.
All substances on the periodic table are classified as elements because?
cannot be broken down into other substances
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 :)
Which of the following is not a compound - sugar or gold?
Gold is not. Gold is an element that cannot be broken down further.The rest are substances that consist of multiple elements bonded together:Sugar (common sugars) is either C6H12O6 or C12H22O11Salt is NaClWater is H2O

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?

Which of the following cannot be broken down into different elements?
Atoms cannot be broken down into simpler substances
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.
Why can't elements be broken down chemically?
Elements can't be broken down chemically into other substances because elements are what make up other things such as sugar and water, they can't be broken down further because there is nothing to break them down into.
What are substances that cannot be broken down by chemicals?
