Read the passage and answer the following questions:

Element is the simplest form of a pure substance which cannot be divided further into another simple substance. Thus, we can say that it is made up of only one kind of atoms. Out of 114 elements known today, 92 are natural and rest are made by man. Elements can be classified as :

Metals, non-metals, metalloids, inert gases. To identify the elements, usually a symbol is assigned, e.g., C is the symbol for carbon. Elements are different from compounds, as they cannot be broken down further, whereas a compound can be broken down. Both elements and compounds are pure substances.
