Answer 1

Answer: The correct statements are:

An element is a pure substance that is made from a single type of atom. Elements are the building blocks for all the rest of the matter in the world. Examples of elements include iron, oxygen, hydrogen, gold, and helium. An important number in an element is the atomic number.

Answer 2

The correct statements are:
- Elements are made up of only one type of atom.
- Each element has a unique chemical symbol.
- Elements can be identified by their atomic number.

In fact, elements are made up of only one tipe of atom, and each of them is identified by a different symbol. Moreover, each element has a different atomic number (number of protons), therefore elements can be identified by their atomic number.
