Water is a molecule rather than an atom because it consists of more than one atom. In fact it consists of atoms of two different elements.
No because it is a single atom, like oxygen. A molecule/compound is more than one atom connected together like water.
A molecule contains more than one atom.
A proton is smaller than a nucleus, which is smaller than an atom, which is again smaller than a molecule.
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
Heavy water is formed from an isotope of Hydrogen called Deuterium which is 1 proton and 1 neutron whereas a normal hydrogen atom is only 1 proton. The extra particle causes the atom to have more mass and causes it's density to be greater than that of water
In O2 there are two, in O3 there are three.
No because it is a single atom, like oxygen. A molecule/compound is more than one atom connected together like water.
A molecule contains more than one atom.
First of all, there is no nitrogen in a water molecule. A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms. Also known as H2O. However, it is also true that an oxygen atom is slightly bigger than a nitrogen atom. Oxygen has one more proton, and one more electron than nitrogen does. Neutron quantities vary, since there is more than one isotope of both oxygen and nitrogen.
No. A third hydrogen atom can not join a water molecule. However, it can partially join a water molecule through a process called hydrogen bonding. So the third hydrogen is more attached to its own oxygen atom than it is attached to the other oxygen atom although it is attached to both.
Answer 1: Because a molecule is made up of atoms. Correct answer: it's a trick or meaningless question. Molecules are not always larger or heavier than atoms. For example, a single uranium atom is larger and heavier than a hydrogen molecule (H2) or even a water molecule (H2O).
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
Even though we are comparing apples and oranges, I'll say a molecule of water is more complex than an atom of an element of the molecule, and less complex than the nucleus of a cell.
A proton is smaller than a nucleus, which is smaller than an atom, which is again smaller than a molecule.
A molecule of water, a molecule of hydrogen, a molecule of oxygen, a molecule of sugar... Actually more substances come in form of molecules than in atomic form.
Its a Molecule Its a Molecule
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
