Pure substances are defined as substances that are made of only one type of atom or only one type of molecule (a group of atoms bonded together). The measure of whether a substance is pure is known as purity. For example, pure iron would only contain iron atoms, and, as in the sugar cube mentioned above, pure sugar would only contain molecules of the substance called sucrose. Elements An element is a pure substance which cannot be broken down by further chemical techniques. These include heating, cooling, electrolysis and reacting with other chemicals. (By the way, it is correct that an atom can be destroyed, but NOT by chemical means. You must use a more powerful reaction, called a nuclear reaction, to destroy or change atoms. That is a topic for a lesson in a different unit.) Compounds A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two. The key distinction is that compounds break down whereas the SAME techniques do not cause an element to break down. read less
