Answer;

-Elements are composed of atoms

Step-by-step explanation;

-A chemical element consists of atoms with a specific number of protons in the nucleus; this number is called the atomic number. The atoms of an element may differ in the number of neutrons; atoms with different neutron numbers are said to be different isotopes of the element.
