Chemical elements are the very simple building blocks of all other things. They are pure substances. That means that they are made up of only one type of thing--one type of atom. The element iron, for example, is made up of only atoms of iron. It's not mixed with anything else. The chemical elements do mix with other chemical elements, though.
