That is probably an atom, if you are talking about an element as a substance. Protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom can be broken even further into simpler parts called quarks. Breaking down a proton or neutron in the center of an atom doesn't really mean you're splitting the atom; just its parts. So, your answer would probably be an atom.

If further questions, report to a science book or reputable chemistry source immediately! lol ;)

Why cant an unbalanced chemical equation fully describe a reaction?

An unbalanced chemical equation does not accurately reflect the ratio of reactants and products in a chemical reaction, which can affect the stoichiometry of the reaction. Balancing the equation is necessary to ensure that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed and to correctly represent the chemical species involved in the reaction.


What is made up of only one atom and has a chemical symbol and cant be divided into simpler substances?

An element is made up of only one type of atom and has a unique chemical symbol. Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by normal chemical means.


Chemical reaction between phenol and bromine water?

The reaction between phenol and bromine water results in the substitution of a hydrogen atom on the benzene ring with a bromine atom. This forms bromophenol as the product. The reaction is a bromination reaction and the presence of phenol's hydroxyl group activates the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution.


How do you mix sugar and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water?

To mix sugar and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, the sugar (glucose) undergoes combustion in the presence of oxygen. This chemical reaction results in the production of carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. The reaction equation is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.


If the temperature of a chemical reaction is increased the reaction rate?

It depends if the reaction is endothermic (requires heat/energy) or is exothermic (requires no heat/energy and produces heat/energy). In general, most reactions are endothermic and require some amount of energy to 'go' and hence, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of reaction. However, in exothermic reactions, introducing heat can halt the reaction as well as reverse it, if said reaction is reversible.

What are the starting substances that are involved in a chemical reaction called?

Substances initially present in a chemical reaction that are consumed during the reaction to make products are called "reactants".A "reagent" is a substance or compound that is added to a system in order to bring about a chemical reaction or is added to see if a reaction occurs.Although the terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably, a reactant is more specifically a "substance that is consumed in the course of a chemical reaction".Solvents and catalysts, although they are involved in the reaction, are usually not referred to as reactants.


What is a pure substance that cannot be broken into a simpler substance?

Not: atoms The answer is an element


What elements can be broken down into any simpler substances?

No.An elementcan't be broken down into a simpler substance, without changing its chemical nature.


Why cant a chemical reaction change an element into another element?

Because an element in itself is defined as the simplest form of any substance found on earth. So you cant take a simplest form of a fraction and make it smaller without changing it.

Is cooking any onion a chemical reaction or physical?

Cooking an onion involves both chemical and physical changes. The heat causes physical changes such as softening and browning of the onion as well as chemical changes such as the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler compounds, resulting in new flavors and aromas.
