What would be the least molecular mass of a compound containing8 percent of sulfur by mass?
It must be 400, because the compound must contain at least one sulphur atom with atomic mass 32.
Is gold an example of an atom?
A single atom of any element can not be a molecule in the strictest sense, because a molecule must contain at least one chemical bond. (This does not mean that a single atom of gas can not be a kinetic-molecular theory unit, as is true for the noble gases.) A single atom of any element also can not be a compound because that by definition must contain at least two distinct elements.
What is the name for the polyatomic compound Ma2CO3?

How many of the elements in an alloy must be metal?
At least one.
Is CaCl2 a metal or nonmetal?
Calcium Chloride is an ionic compound. You see, for a substance to be classified as either a non-metal or a metal, it has to be in elemental form. Calcium Chloride is a compound, so you can't say whether it is a non-metal or a metal. However, of the elements that make up this compound, Calcium is a metal and Chlorine is a non-metal.
What represents atom?
Atoms are made up of at least one proton, at least one nuetron, and at least one electron. The number of electrons an atom has must be equal to its protons, otherwise, it is called an ion.
Is sulfide organic?
No. Sulfide is simply a sulfur atom with a negative charge. To be organic a compound must contain carbon.
Why do you have to mix a 2 elements to make a compound?
Part of the definition of a compound is that it must contain atoms of at least two distinct elements.
Does ethers contain oxygen?
By definition, ethers must contain at least one oxygen atom.
