An element is a substance made from only one type of atom. Remember this definition as you might need it in the exam! For example Carbon is made entirely from carbon atoms. Sodium is made entirely from sodium atoms. Unlike a compound, an element cannot be broken down (chemically) into a more simple substance. The periodic table shows all the elements. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and therefore have the same atomic number.
An element is a substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. This was the first useful definition of element, because it allowed elements to be distinguished from other substances experimentally.ocabulary allotrope atomic number atomic weight atoms Dalton's atomic theory isotope mixture nucleus substance An element is a type of matter composed of atoms that all have exactly the same positive charge on their nuclei.
