No.
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.
An element is the only substance that cannot be broken down.
An atom is the smallest particle there can be and can't be broken down any further while compounds are composed of two or more different atoms of elements.
A molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. When water is broken down into these particles, it forms the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen gas.
Molecules are a combination of elements that form a pure substance that can be broken down further only by chemical means. Elements can't be broken down any further by chemical means (although nuclear reactions do break down chemicals). C6H12O6 (table sugar) is a molecule as it can be broken down further into the elements that make it up, carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), while Fe (iron) can't be broken down any further into any other element.Molecule of an element: O2, H2Molecule of a compound: H2O, C2H5OH

Atoms or elements. These can be broken down further into protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The elements formed after atoms have broken down and reformed are known as isotopes. Isotopes have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in their nucleus, leading to variations in atomic mass.
Elements cannot be broken down into compounds because elements are the simplest form of matter and are made up of only one type of atom. Compounds, on the other hand, are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.

Yes, atoms make up almost everything, they can only be broken down into protons, neutrons and electrons. An element is a substance found on the periodic table with certain rules and regulations given to each element. An element is made up only of atoms. A compound is a mixture of two or more elements that can be broken down into elements again, it is not a pure substance as such. So a compound is made up of elements, elements are made of atoms.

In a word, no.
Elements are substances made of identical atoms which cannot be broken down to other substances. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
