Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
Are nitrogen molecules Smaller than butane molecule?
Yes, nitrogen molecules are smaller than butane molecules. Nitrogen molecules consist of two nitrogen atoms, while butane molecules consist of four carbon and ten hydrogen atoms. Carbon atoms are slightly smaller than nitrogen atoms, but four of them are definitely larger than two nitrogen atoms, and of course, there are also the ten hydrogen atoms, and although hydrogen atoms are the smallest type of atom, if you have ten of them it does contribute to the size of the molecule. Further to this, the distance between bonds will be smaller in N2 as this is a triple bond because of 3 shared electrons each, whereas it is single bonds between the carbons, elongating the bonds between carbons
Are electrons lost more easily in larger or smaller atoms?
The positive charges in a atom, concentrated in its nucleus, can more strongly attract electrons from the outside environment because the positive charges are closer to the outside environment in smaller atoms and their attraction is less "screened" by electrons already in the atom, as smaller neutral atoms have smaller number of such electrons than larger neutral atoms. However, note that this principle applies most effectively only down periodic table columns, and other factors such as electron configuration can outweigh the effect of size. For example, hydrogen is smaller than fluorine but has lower electron affinity.
What is a chemical change in which a larger substance is broken down into smaller substances?
Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of one larger molecule into several smaller molecules.
Is a helium atom larger than a neon atom?
helium as it contains 2 protons, while hydrogen only contains 1. Additionally, the orbit of the 2 electrons in a neutral helium atom would also be larger than the orbit of the single electron in hydrogen.

Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
Electrons shared in a molecule are held where to the atoms with the larger nucleus?
Electrons shared in a molecule are held more closely to the atom with the larger nucleus
Is molecule larger or smaller than an atom?
Larger.
Does hydrogen diffuse faster than methane?
Yes, hydrogen diffuses faster than methane. The hydrogen molecule, H2, is the smallest of all molecules and it is considerably smaller than the methane molecule, CH4. Smaller molecules move faster, and therefore diffuse faster, at any given temperature, than larger molecules.
Why does the chlorine atom have a partial negative charge in a molecule of hydrogen chloride?
The electronegativity of bromine is larger than hydrogen, which shifts the location of shared electrons toward bromine.
What molecule can break down into smaller molecules?
Yes. A molecule is made up of atoms, and similarly atoms can be broken down into smaller components called protons, neutrons, and electrons. These can be further broken down into quarks and leptons, the building blocks for all matter.
Do thin wires have smaller electrons and large wires have larger sized electrons?
No. Electrons are all the same size
Are electrons larger than protrons?
No. Actually electrons are almost 2,00X smaller. About 1,600 or something.
Are nitrogen molecules Smaller than butane molecule?
