Atoms are one element only. A stable molecule can only have one element if it is a diatom or a network of carbon for instance (diamond). Molecules have generally 2 or more elements.

What is an elemement?
it contains only i atomic
What represents atom?
Atoms are made up of at least one proton, at least one nuetron, and at least one electron. The number of electrons an atom has must be equal to its protons, otherwise, it is called an ion.
Is an nitrogen gas elemement or compound?
nitrogen is an element, not a compound.
Which atoms or groups of atoms are always found in oxides?
An oxide always has at least one oxygen atom as well as at least one atom of a different element.
What are the similarity between a sulphur atom and a sulphur molecule?
They both have at least one sulphur atom
What are oxidents?
An oxide is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom as well as at least one other element. Ex. Carbon Dioxide (One carbona atom, two [di] oxygen atoms).
Where in the periodic table would have the least massive atom?
The element hydrogen is least massive as it has only one proton, one electron.
Do all compounds contain at least one oxygen atom?
Not all but most do
What are similarities between atoms and molecules?
They both consist of at least one atom.
How does an atom simplify your understanding of atomic structure?
an atom is the smallest part of any substance a substance has to be an atomic structure because every substance has at least one atom.
What holds atom in covalent compound?
Each atom in a covalent bond shares at least one electron with another electron of another atom to maintain the covalent bond.
In a lewis structure which atom is usually the central atom?
The central atom in a Lewis structure is usually the least electronegative atom.EDIT:If an atom occurs only once, this atom is most likely to be the central atom (exception is hydrogen, as it can make only 1 bond [1 electron necessary to reach a noble gas electron configuration]). The atom that can form the greatest number of bonds (has the least number of valence electrons) or is the least electronegative (least likely to attract atoms).
