Which element is alkaline earth element with the least massive atoms?

Beryllium is the alkaline earth element with the least massive atoms.


Life on earth is said to be carbon based because organic molecules contain what kind of atoms?

Carbon atoms. Organic molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, all contain carbon atoms as their central structural element. This is why life on Earth is considered carbon-based.


Is gold an earth based element?

no its not bcuz aug is a precious metal and earth does not have metal in its inner core aquafier and or the mantle so thre u have it gold is not an earth based element ;D


Does silicon form compounds made of long chains of atoms?

Yes, silicon can form compounds with long chains of atoms called polysilicones or silicones. These compounds are known for their flexibility, thermal stability, and water repellent properties. Silicon-oxygen chains can also form in silicates, which are common minerals in the Earth's crust.


What element is life on earth based on?

Life on Earth is carbon-based. Carbon forms bonds with hydrogen and oxygen to create organic compounds. It is also often said that all life depends on water, meaning that all life requires the hydrogen and oxygen atoms too.


Are iron atoms on earth and mars same if yes why?

They are the same. Iron is a a chemical element. It may be in different states, but iron atoms are the same no matter where in the universe they are. The same applies to any other element.


What unusual property do carbon atoms have that other elements do not have?

Carbon atoms have the unique ability to form long chains and complex structures by bonding with other carbon atoms through covalent bonds. This property, known as catenation, allows carbon to create a wide variety of organic compounds, making it the basis of life on Earth.


What type of particles magnesium is?

All chemical elements (including magnesium) are formed from atoms.


Which element is considered the most versatile element in living organisms and why?

Carbon is considered the most versatile element in living organisms because of its ability to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and a variety of other elements. This allows carbon to form complex molecules with diverse structures and functions, making it essential for the diversity of life on Earth.


Is water the most common element on Earth?

Water is not an element. The element that is most present in the atmosphere is Nitrogen at about 70% (Oxygen is about 20%). I don't know about the most common element in the earth's crust though. I'd say that the most common element overall is Carbon (since all life is carbon based)


Why a single atom of an element would be found in earths atmosphere?

A single atom of an element can be found in Earth's atmosphere due to natural processes such as radioactive decay, cosmic rays, or volcanic activity. These processes can release individual atoms into the atmosphere, where they can exist for brief periods before combining with other atoms to form molecules.


Is mendelevium found in the Earth's crust?

Mendelevium is an artificial element, toxic and radioactive, difficult to obtain - only some atoms per experiment.
