Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
For instance, a solid white material (A) is heated in the absence of air, decomposing to form a new white material (B) and gas (C). Gas (C) has the same properties as the products when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen (CO2). How can we determine whether A, B, and C are elements or compounds? A would be a compound since it was broken down into B and C. So how do we determine B and C?
A compound can be decomposed, for the reason that a compound is composed of 2 or more elements. On the contrary, an element cannot be decomposed.

It's because of Avagadro's number.
- It is known as Avagadro's constant too.
- It states that at constant temperature one mole of any substance contain same number of atoms i.e n no of atoms

B. Argon's vibrational energy is not excited by infrared radiation.
Explanation:
The property of carbon dioxide to get excited by infrared electromagnetic radiation is what qualifies it as a greenhouse gas. When infrared from the earth's surface is reflecting back to space, some of the radiation is absorbed and remitted by the carbon-dioxide molecules in the atmosphere. This causes a phenomenon called greenhouse effect that causes the atmosphere to be relatively warmer. The more the carbon dioxide molecules the more the greenhouse effect.
