No, chalk is not an element. Chalk is a soft, white, porous form of limestone composed primarily of the mineral calcite. Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down further by chemical means, while chalk is a compound made up of multiple elements.

According to my chemistry book, Chalk is a compound because the different elements that are in it are bonded and can not be broken down by physical means.
