Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Elements are pure substances with specific properties. Atoms are the smallest units of elements that still retain the element’s properties. Atoms contain electrons, neutrons, and protons. Each element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
Detailed explanation-2: -This means that all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Protons and other subatomic particles will be discussed in more detail a little later in this module. What makes atoms of various elements different from each other is their number of protons.
Detailed explanation-3: -An element is a pure substance and is made of only one type of atom; it cannot be broken down into a simpler substance.
