The correct statements are:

- Elements are made up of only one type of atom.

- Each element has a unique chemical symbol.

- Elements can be identified by their atomic number.

In fact, elements are made up of only one tipe of atom, and each of them is identified by a different symbol. Moreover, each element has a different atomic number (number of protons), therefore elements can be identified by their atomic number.
