I cannot see any individual atoms whatsoever in their single individuality without an incredibly powerful microscope -- however, we can readily see huge accumulations of atoms in everything visible around us. So... no and yes.

Why can you smell air pollution?
You can smell some pollution, not all. Your nose is a very sensitive chemical sensor. Molecules of esters, aldehydes and some inorganic gases activate the nose and we identify the reaction as a smell. The nose however can be fooled. H2S dulls the sense of smell after it reaches a certain level. The ability to smell CS2 and the "asparagus smell" in urine is not present is some people. Other pollutants like CO, CO2 and methane are odourless to all.
How is CO2 written?
O=C=O carbon dioxide
Does carbon dioxide smell like rotten eggs?
Abosolutley Not!! If you would like to test... Smell yourself, you are made of carbon too!!
What makes when these mix CO2 and H2O?
H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 Also if you mix H2O with CO2(s) (common name dry ice) you get CO2 gas and an acidic CO2/H2O mixture.
What is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 desolves easily in it?
The ocean is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 dissolves easily in it.
Does CO2 smell like lemons?
Does co2 like lemon
What is the problem with burning trash?
it will smell and cause co2 there happy
What does CO2 smell like?
Does Carbon Monoxide Smell? No, carbon monoxide has no smell. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that’s a byproduct of combustion. As a homeowner, this means it can leak from your gas furnace, stove, dryer, and water heater as well as wood stove/fireplace. The fact that carbon monoxide has no smell, color, or taste makes it impossible for us to detect. This gas is an unseen risk, the exposure to which may prove fatal. To keep your family safe, it’s important to identify all the possible sources of CO in your residence and to properly install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors in your home.
Does carbon dioxide makes septic tanks smell?
CO2(carbon dioxide) is a colorless, odorless gas.ANS2:Septic tanks don't smell, they stink. The stench comes in part from hydrogen sulfide that is produced during the anaerobic decomposition of organic material. There are other gases that add to the aroma but CO2 is not one of them because it has no odor.
How do you know whether co2 is present in something or not?
CO2 has a distinct smell, faint, but still distintict. Also, if you inhale it you will start to pant due to a lack of oxygen. That is how you can tell. Ayraayra: acutally the "panting" or increased breathing rate is due to the build up of CO2 not because the lack of O2.
How can alcohol dissolved in water separate?
In an alcoholic-water solution there will be an alchoholic smell compared to the smell of just plain water. In an alcoholic-water solution there will be an alchoholic smell compared to the smell of just plain water.

Why do you smell carbon dioxide from your gas space heater?
Thats bulls**t. You cannot smell CO2, unless its really concentrated. And your heater cannot produce it in those densities. Its probably just emissions, of sort, depending on gas source
Ammonium Carbonate heated makes what?
Ammonium Carbonate decomposes to yield Water(H2O), Carbon Dioxide(CO2), and Ammonium(NH4).

How do you stop a fire alarm when it starts beeping and there is no smoke?
You can stop a smoke/fire alarm beeping by removing the battery. But, get another or fix the one you have and put it back quickly as it can save your life. If it's also a CO2 detector you will see no smoke and smell nothing but CO2 is lethal if you continue breathing it.
