A substance that cannot be broken down to a simpler substance is an ATOM. A compound is 2 or more elements combined.
Though, studies have shown that there is something smaller than an atom. An atom is broken into smaller parts called subatomic particles. But atom is still considered the tiniest substance.

false... the word 'compound' implies two elements that have been 'compounded' togther...
"a compound is a substance that results from a combination of two or more different chemical elements"
