Thorium can be separated from other elements by solvent extraction with tributylphosphate.
No. If two elements can be separated by a physical process then they are simply mixed.
Compounds can be separated into their constituent elements only by a decomposition reaction.
The ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles is known for proposing the theory that all matter is composed of four elements: earth, fire, water, and air. He believed that these elements combined and separated through the forces of love and strife to create the physical world.
A compound, such as water (H2O), cannot be physically separated into its component elements (hydrogen and oxygen) but can be chemically separated through a chemical reaction, such as electrolysis, which breaks the bonds between the elements.
Aluminum can be separated into its elements because it is a pure substance composed of only one type of atom. Similarly, nitrogen can be separated into its elemental form because it is a diatomic molecule. Zinc, on the other hand, is already an element and cannot be separated into simpler substances through normal chemical processes.

Air is a mixture of several gaseous elements, such as oxygen and nitrogen, and compounds, such as carbon dioxide. In the sense of the four elements, water, fire, earth, and air, air is an element.
Thorium can be separated from other elements by solvent extraction with tributylphosphate.
Neptunium is an individual element; isotopes of neptunium are not separated.
