No in fact, air is a mixture of many different molecules.
The two most abudnant in air are nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Nitrogen and oxygen are elements, but in air they are almost always found as diatomic molecules, N2 and O2, respectively, where two atoms of each element are bound to each other.
Water vapor, argon, and carbon dioxide are the next most common compounds in air, but there are many others as well in very small amounts called "trace" amounts. The relative abundance of each gas depends a bit on local conditions (especially water vapor) and a bit on your vertical position in the atmosphere.
Some molecules in the air are very stable, such as N2, and others are very short lived, such as ozone.

∙ 15y agono it has two types of atoms. This can be discovered from its name, no substances that have a double barreled name have one type of atom and its chemical name contains more than one element(CO2). It contains Carbon and oxygen no it has two types of atoms. This can be discovered from its name, no substances that have a double barreled name have one type of atom and its chemical name contains more than one element(CO2). It contains Carbon and oxygen

∙ 12y agoyes, it only contains one type of atom however it contains 2 of the same atom. e.g oxygen. the chemical formula is O2 which mean two oxygen's.

∙ 12y agoOxygen is an element which, basically, means it is a substance made up of one kind of atom.

∙ 11y agoNo. Air is a mixture of gases. The most abundant are nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). Refer to the related link for a listing of the ten most abundant gases in the atmosphere.

∙ 12y agoyes because there is oxygen noxigen exc.

The type of compound that contains much more carbon and hydrogen than oxygen?
One such type is hydrocarbons, which contain only hydrogen and carbon with no oxygen at all.
Does iron only contain one type of atom?
It is true. A compound contains two or more different type of atoms.
How many of each type of atom is in a single molecule of water?
hydrogen atom 2 oxygen atom 1
What type of atoms are found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
What consist of only one type of atom?
an element consists of only 1 type of atom !
What contains only one type of atom in the periodic table?
hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, anything on the periodic table with only one letter for its symbol
If an oxygen atom shared some electrons with another oxygen atom what type of substance would the molecule be?
Element b/c Molecules that contain only atoms of the same type of element are only elements. They are not compounds or mixtures because no other elements are present.
Does water has only one type of atom?
No, H20: 2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom
Things which contain only one type of atom are called?
Elements.
What is the Simplest chemical made up of only one type of atom?
Elements only contain one kind of atom.
How is an atom related to an element?
Elements and atoms are related because elements contain only one type of atom.
What is the matter that is made up of only one kind of atom called?
If there is only one kind of atom involved, it is called an element. Elemental gold only has gold atoms, elemental oxygen only has oxygen atoms, etc. Pure water is not an element because oxygen and hydrogen atoms are involved.
Contains only one type of atom it is found on the periodic table?
All elements in the Periodic Table contain only one type of atom.
What type of atom is the oxygen atom?
it is a non- metal element.
Does cooper only contain one sort of atom?
if you are talking about 'copper'(which I think you are) than yes, it does. Every element contains only one type of atom in it, that's actually the definition of an atom.
What is matter called when it is made up of only one type of atom?
Then it is an element, such as carbon, copper, or lead. If there is more than on type of atom, then it is a compound, such as water (oxygen and hydrogen)
Does copper only contain one sort of atom?
Copper is an element. An element consists of one type of atom. If there is more than one type of atom it can be a mixture of elements, or it could be a compound or alloy, but not an element.
