Answer:

Elements are made up of atoms

Explanations:

Atoms are defined as the indivisible particle of an element. An atom is a particle of matter that characterizes a chemical element.

For instance, the element of sodium is made up of only sodium atoms. Take the example of chalk. Chalk can be categorized as an element but if the chalk is broken down up to a point where it can not be divided further, this smallest element that cannot be divided further is an atom and the combination of this atom is known as an element.

Based on the above explanations, we can conclude that elements are made of atoms.
