What else can I help you with?
Does energy contain atoms?
Energy itself does not contain atoms. Energy is a property or a characteristic of objects and particles that can be transferred between them. Atoms, on the other hand, are the basic building blocks of matter and contain protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is the structure of rutherfordium?
As all other chemical elements atoms of rutherfordium contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
What are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons as other atoms of that element but a different number of neutrons called?
They are called isotopes,
Can atoms contain smaller parts?
Yep, atoms contain electrons, protons and neutron. Each of them contains other parts that are even smaller, I think we learnt these parts are 1-dimensional oo
What are the three subatomic particles of a molecule?
The three subatomic particles of a molecule are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons carry a negative charge. Together, they make up the structure of an atom.
How does the discovery of isotopes contradict Dalton's theory?
It was then changed to "All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons and electrons, but atoms of a given element may have different numbers of neutrons." after James Chadwick discovered that the nuclei of most atoms contain neutrons as well as protons.
What are the three ways in which an atom can form binds with other atoms?
You have a misconception about chemical bonding. Electrons do not form bonds with other electrons. As you will recall from Coulomb's Law, electrons repel other electrons since they all have the same negative charge, and like charges repel, while opposite charges attract. So it is the oppositely charged protons to which electrons are attracted. Since atoms contain both protons and electrons, atoms bond with other atoms because the electrons in one atom can be attracted to the protons in a different atom. And there are various types of bonding between atoms. These include ionic, covalent, and metallic.
How many protons electrons and neutrons are in boron?
All boron atoms contain 5 electrons and 5 protons. Atoms of the most abundant naturally occurring isotope of boron contain 6 neutrons each, and atoms of the only other naturally occurring isotope of boron contain 5 neutrons each.
What do isotopes allotropes and isomers have in common?
They are all forms of a given chemical element. Example for sulfur: - S6, S7, S7, S7, S12, S18, etc. are allotropes of sulfur; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of the sulfur atoms is the same. - sulfur has natural or artificial isotopes; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of the sulfur isotopes is the same. - an isomer is 43mS; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of this sulfur isomer atoms is the same as for other isotopes.
Where do the neutrons come from to have an element be considered an isotope?
# Elements are not isotopes, atoms are isotopes of an element. # There are no atoms that are not isotopes, so it's not a matter of being "considered" an isotope or not. # It doesn't matter where the neutrons come from, whatever that means. All atoms are isotopes of some element or other.
Do atoms have neutrons in them?
Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.
What part of daltons theory was modified after discovery of isotopes?
Atoms may not be changed into other atoms.
