False........an element has many types of matter depending on the particular element. As listed in the periodic table, the number, or weight of each element is based on the number of protons, electrons, quirks and gravitation effects.

false elements are pure and they only have the elements atoms in it. iron is an element with only iron in its matter. water however is a molecule and not an element. it is made up of two types of matter, water and hydrogen.

Is a wonderful Aristotle "black&white" question: on the first glance it is really true, because is the definition as mmaakkaa789 posted already above ... but can Buddha's "grey world" also sneak into this answer? Actually the periodic table contains also all isotopes of the radioactive elements .... meaning this, it contains the radioactive elements in the moment of their change into other elements ...... are they elements in these micro/nano/femto- or whatever-seconds of change or must we consider them in these moments not to be covered by the periodic table??? .... But if we consider them in these moments of change to be covered by the periodic table, then also the ions of all the elements should be covered by the periodic table, shouldn't they? ..... but actually ions are part of compounds, so the periodic table also contains compounds not only elements ......... is fuzzy, isn't it?

false. an element is the simplest form of matter

This can be considered true only for hydrogen atoms and totally ionized nuclei of all other elements. (If you get into sub-atomic particles, the statement is false.)

false-
periodic table of elements contains the simplest forms of anything.
here's the table and some text:

false, an "element" is an element all alone, like copper, titanium, iron, etc...
A "compound" is composed of 2 or more elements.
