Atoms are the basic building block of all things, and elements are the arrangement of the same type of atom. Hydrogen is an element composed of atoms with one proton and one electron while Lithium is an element composed of atoms with 3 protons and 3 electrons.
No. The relationship between the two is similar to that of sand and a sandcastle.
An atom consists of three things: electrons, protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons and electrons can vary (although the number is usually fairly close to the number of protons), it is the number of protons which determines which element the atom is.
An element is matter which consists of only one type of atom, the atoms may vary in number of neutrons or electrons, but they will all have the same number of protons.
Note that pure elements may exist as solids, liquids or gasses, depending on which element they are. E.g: elemental oxygen is a gas, elemental iron is a solid, and elemental Mercury is a liquid.
Kinda sorta no. Elements are made up of atoms. There are calcium atoms, and the element calcium is made up of just calcium atoms.
An atom and an element are NOT the same thing. An element is made up of atoms. The atom is the smallest part that cannot be divided further (within the classical definition).
No.
No. (and there is no such thing as "the standard atom"). All isotopes of a given element contain the same number of protons.
In an atom, the number of protons is the same number as the atomic number.
The Atomic Number of an element is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element and/or the number of electrons a in neutral atom of that element.
an element, yeah i know not a good answer.
Scheelite is a mineral, not an element. Therefore, there is no such thing as a "scheelite atom."GeoPhil
They are different words to describe the same thing. An atom is an element.
Nothing, it's the same thing.
The answer is : no.
Yes that is true Every atom of a given element does have the same number of protons.
Yes. It is true. An atom with a different atomic number is an atom of a different element.
No. An atom is the basic unit of an element that retains all the properties of that element. So two elements can not have the same atom.
Each element has a unique number of protons. If another atom has the same number of protons as that element, it is the same element.
No, isotopes of the same element are of different weight.
No. (and there is no such thing as "the standard atom"). All isotopes of a given element contain the same number of protons.
In an atom, the number of protons is the same number as the atomic number.
An atom.
An isotope is an atom of an element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. However, all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
