What is a molecule consisting of a large number of atoms?

Answer 1

No. Molecules are made up of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter, and can come together to form molecules such as H20 (water).

Atoms consist of subatomic particles known as protons, electrons, and neutrons.

Answer 2

An atom is one 'particle' of an element.

A molecule is one 'particle' of a certain chemical formation; this could be a compound, or it could be multiple atoms of the same element joined together.

Examples of atoms: Oxygen atom (O), Magnesium atom (Mg), Nitrogen atom (N).

Examples of molecules: Oxygen molecule (O2), Magnesium Oxide (MgO), Nitrogen molecule (N2).

Answer 3

Definetly! In fact, a pure diamond, which is just a lattice of carbon atoms bounded to surrounding carbon atoms is one big molecule. Since diamonds can get quite large and weigh more than the molar mass of carbon, there can be over 6.02^23 atoms in a single molecule.

Answer 4

Yes, polymers are made of millions of atoms linked in a repeating pattern. For instance, Polyethylene, DNA, or proteins are made of millions of atoms.

Answer 5

No, there are about 120 different atoms. Each atom is called an ELEMENT. They are grouped according to the number of electrons and protons/atomic weight.

Answer 6

An atom is the smallest piece of an element, that can still be recognized as being that element.

Answer 7

Yes. An example would be water, H2O. It contains two atoms of Hydrogen and one of Oxygen.

Answer 8

A molecule with more than 1 coo atoms is conventionally called a macro-molecule(macro, from the Greek language, is great).
