X, Y, and Z are elements.

An element is the smallest part of a substance that can exist on its own and can not be broken down into smaller unit.

From the question, W was broken down to give X, Y, Z. All three substances can not be broken down by chemical means.

The fact that X, Y and Z can not be broken down by chemical means implies that they are elements.
