Answer: False
Explanation:
Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: Hydrogen [tex]H_2[/tex]
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water [tex]H_2O[/tex]
Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product.Compounds can also combine to give other compounds as in the given reaction: [tex]BaO+CO_2\rightarrow BaCO_3[/tex]
Thus the statement is false.
