Which is larger a atom or a element explain?

an atom is larger than an element


Is an oxygen atom bigger than a hydrogen atom?

An oxygen atom has 8 of each neutrons, electrons, and protons. While a carbon atom has only 6 of each. I had the same problem! So i hope this helped :)


Is carbon monoxcide heavier than oxygen?

Oxygen as a gas is heavier than carbonmonoxide This is because carbon monoxide consists of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom. This says that if the mass of oxygen is x and the mass of carbon is x-z (its not as heavy as oxygen) then a carbon monoxide molecule is 2x-z. Also we must keep in mind that z is smaller than x. On the other hand an oxygen molecule is 2x. It is obvious that 2x is larger than 2x-z unless z is 0 or smaller. However z cant be 0 or smaller because then carbon as an atom would be heavier than oxygen which it isn't. However Carbon Monoxide is heavier than oxygen as an atom. Again we can say CO is 2x-z and since z is less than x, 2x-z>x. Also x is an oxygen atoms mass. So CO>O but CO<O2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What one is larger a chlorine atom or a chloride ion?

anion is always larger than its parent atom


Why the size of oxygen gas molecules are smaller than that the nitrogen gas molecules?

The size of an atom is based mainly upon the relative numbers of protons and electrons, and then where the electrons will be located. Since oxygen has one mroe proton than nitrogen, it is more liekly that the electrons in an oxygen atom will be found closer to the nucleus since the strength of the proton pull will be greater.

Is an electron much larger than an atom?

No, since electrons are part of an atom, they are smaller -- much smaller. In fact, they weigh practically nothing.


What is the dipole moment direction for methanol?

the direction is towards the oxygen since the Oxygen atom has a much higher eletronegativity than either of the three Hydrogen atoms or the Carbon atom itself.

Why in a water molecule is the oxygen atom bigger then the nitrogen 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.
