An element is a substance that is made up of only one kind of atom, and cannot be split using any chemical means. For example - Iron, Gold, Silver, etc.
An atom is the smallest unit of an element. Elements are broadly classified into two types - Normal and Radioactive elements.
Radioactive elements are those elements that undergo nuclear reactions and emit radiations that are harmful to our body.
