Elements and Atoms
An element is a fundamental substance that cannot be broken down by chemical means
into a simpler substance.
Elements are the building blocks of matter.
Elements can occur naturally or be synthesized in labs. The smallest unit of an element that retains its properties and chemical behavior is called an atom.
Atoms are made up of subatomic particles, but they do not have the properties of the element.
