Hydrocarbon?
i think an atom
It is called an Ion.
No, it becomes a new element.When a particle loses an electron it becomes an ion.
no
No, it is an element - a type of atom. The positive hydrogen ion, on the other hand, is usually identical with the proton, which is a subatomic particle.
An atom is the basic particle of an element. Atoms are considered to be the foundation of chemistry.
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
If you think to atoms they are similar. But in compounds atoms can form ions.
For a substance the term is molecule, for an element the term is atom.
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
