  • Elements: Understanding Substances with a Single Type of Atom
    A substance with one type of atom is called an element.

    Here are some examples:

    * Gold (Au) is an element made up only of gold atoms.

    * Oxygen (O) is an element made up only of oxygen atoms.

    * Iron (Fe) is an element made up only of iron atoms.

    Elements are the simplest forms of matter that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means.
