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.
Definition of Element What is an Element? An element is a substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons: another way of saying this is that all of a particular element's atoms have the same atomic number. Elements are chemically the simplest substances and hence cannot be broken down using chemical reactions. Elements can only be changed into other elements using nuclear methods. Although an elementâs atoms must all have the same number of protons, they can have different numbers of neutrons and hence different masses.
