A substance that is made up of all identical atoms is a chemical, specially a chemical compound.

Here are the reasons why the other choices cannot be the answer:

  • An element would be a single atom and not a substance that consisted of multiple atoms.
  • A compound would be any combination of 2 or more different elements that is held together by chemical bonds, meaning it isn't made up of all identical atoms
  • An alloy is a substance that consists of more than one element where at least one of them is a metal, meaning it does not have identical atoms.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
