Question

Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances either physically or chemically.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• An element is a pure substance that consists of only one kind of atom.
• Each element has its own unique properties. The atoms of an element show the same properties as the element.
• Example: Hydrogen$\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ has unique properties and the atoms of Hydrogen$\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ show the same properties.
• Elements cannot be separated or broken down into simpler components by physical or chemical methods.

Hence, the given statement is true.
