An element cannot chemically be separated into what?

  1. Atoms

  2. Simpler substances

  3. Molecules

  4. Compounds

The correct answer is: Simpler substances

An element cannot chemically be separated into simpler substances is because it is already the simplest form of matter. Atoms make up elements and are not considered a substance on their own, making option A incorrect. Molecules are made up of atoms combined chemically and are not simpler substances, making option C incorrect. Compounds are made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together, making option D incorrect. Only option B correctly states that an element cannot be chemically separated into simpler substances.
