Elements aren't chemicals
From Wiki
In
chemistry, an
element is a pure
substance consisting only of
atoms that all have the same numbers of
protons in their
nuclei. Unlike
chemical compounds, chemical elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical reaction.
Now I’m not a scientist but to me it looks like chemical elements are all the same element combined and it can’t be broken by chemical reaction.
Just from Google:
Are elements and chemicals the same?
A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio. An element is
a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom. ... Elements that compose the compound are chemically combined. Elements contain only one type of atom.
Not trying to sound like a knowledge god or anything, just interested in this stuff.
