How is a element is different from a compound?
Elements can be broken down into smaller pieces: a compounds smallest particle is a molecule
Which groups cannot be broken down into smallest part?
Elements in the periodic table and subatomic particles (such as electrons, protons, and neutrons) cannot be broken down into smaller parts. These are considered the fundamental building blocks of matter.
An element cannot be easily broken down into other smaller materials with different?
An element cannot be easily broken down into other smaller materials with different properties because it consists of only one type of atom. Each atom of an element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, defining its specific chemical properties. This characteristic distinguishes elements from compounds, which are formed by the combination of different elements in specific ratios.
Can atoms be broken down into different elements?
No.
Why cant you see the ingredients of a solution?
Because in a solution the ingredients are broken into smaller possible particles
Can atoms be broken down into smaller particles?
Yes, atoms can be broken down into smaller particles called subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.

What are the basic particles that make up matter?
The smallest, most basic particles that still have the characteristics of the individual elements (oxygen, gold, carbon, uranium, potassium and many others) are called atoms. An atom of gold is still gold. Once you take any of these atoms apart, you have particles that are common to all elements. The protons in an atom of gold are exactly the same as the protons in an atom of oxygen. The sub-atomic particles, the protons, neutrons and electrons of ordinary atoms, can be broken down into smaller and smaller particles. As we build more and more powerful devices, we find that particles can be broken into smaller and smaller components. I don't believe we yet know where that process will end. This is bringing us to the very limits of what is called particle physics.
Can atoms be broken down into different elements?
No.
What are some attributes of nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission (as opposed to nuclear fusion) is the process in which a atom is broken into smaller pieces (other smaller atoms). This is different from nuclear decay, in which an unstable particle emits particles in an attempt to become more stable. Nuclear fission can be done on any element, other then hydrogen, however it will not yield energy for anything smaller then Iron. When a large particle, like Uranium, is broken into fissile elements, they don't always break the same way. So you would not always get the same particles. These fissile particles fly off and strike another atom, and break it into pieces and the reaction continues.

What do compounds have that allows them to be broken down into smaller chemicals?
compounds have molecules that can be made up of different elements. For example NaCl is a compound and it has NaCl molecules but it is made up of Na(sodium) and Cl(chlorine) which are the elements
What can compounds be broken down too?
Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances such as elements, ions, or smaller molecules through chemical reactions. For example, water (H2O) can be broken down into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) through electrolysis.
Can matter be taking apart?
Yes. Physically, most things in the universe can be physically broken apart with enough force. Chemically, most substances can be broken down into simpler elements. Atomically, the nuclei of atoms can be split into smaller atoms of different elements while releasing enormous amounts of energy.
Can compounds be broken down into smaller substances?
Yes, only elements cannot be broken down to smaller substances.
