What is the relationship between atoms and an elements?
An element is made by atoms. smallest part of element is atom.
What is an element or an atom smaller?
The smallest part of an element is one atom of that element. However an element does not exhibit its bulk properties until there are on the order of 1000 atoms of that element together.
The smallest part of an element is?
The smallest unit of an element that is still that element is an atom. Some elements normally exist as molecules, but under some circumstances these can be broken down to individual atoms.
Are electrons the smallest particle of an element that retains the original characteristics of the element?
No. This is a definition of an atom. Electrons are only part of atoms.
What does the number of atoms in the nucleus determine?
Do you mean number of protons in a nucleus? The nucleus is part of an atom.
What is the smallest part of an element that retains the properties of that element and is composed of one or more atoms?
This is typically referred to as one atom. However to retain the bulk properties of the element you must have several hundred atoms.
What is the smallest part of an element that is still that element?
The smallest part of an element that still retains its properties is an atom.
What is the smallest amount of an element?
The smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element is the atom.
What part of an atom can move to another object?
When an atom of one element is brought in contact with an atom of another element, electrons get transferred from one element to another. However, if the atoms of same element come together then electrons are shared and not transferred. Exception to this is elements in noble gases.
What part of an element determines its ability to combine with other elements?
The number of valence electrons an element atom contains will determine its chemical properties.
Which part of an atom helps describe the property of the atom and determines what kind of element it is?
Protons (the number of ..) determine the 'kind' of element,and the electrons in the outmost valency orbital determine the properties(the number of electron; and 'octet' rule: "make it eight preferably').
Smallest part of a pure substance?
If the pure substance is not an element, the smallest part is a molecule (which is made of atoms) for instance, pure water is made of water molecules, which are made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom If the pure substance is an element, the smallest part is an atom. (which is made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons) Pure hydrogen is made of atoms. A stable hydrogen atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. Protons and Neutrons can be broken down further into Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons. The Electron is a type of Lepton.
