Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

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: Copper Cu

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: methane CH_4

CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

The chemical equation is said to be balanced if the number of atoms in the reactants and products is the same

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equation balanced ⇒ total number of atoms in reactants(on the left)= total number of atoms in products(on the right)

H₂+O₂---> H₂O

Reactants : H₂, O₂

Products : H₂O

not balanced

H₂O₂ ---> H₂O+O₂

Reactants : H₂O₂

Products : H₂O, O₂

not balanced

Na+O₂ ---> Na₂O

Reactants : Na, O₂

Products :  Na₂O

not balanced

N₂+H₂ ---> NH₃

Reactants : N₂, H₂

Products :  NH₃

not balanced

P₄+O₂---> P₄O₁₀

Reactants : P₄, O₂

Products :  P₄O₁₀

not balanced

Fe+H₂O ----> Fe₃O₄ + H₂

Reactants : Fe, H₂O

Products :  Fe₃O₄

not balanced
