There cannot be more than 100 different atoms. I think you are confusing atoms and molecules. There are millions upon millions of different molecules because molecules are combinations of the 100 atoms. These combinations can be any number of the same atoms or of different atoms in different combinations.
For example, the so-called hydrocarbons. These are different combinations of hydrogen and carbon:
1 carbon atom combined with 4 hydrogen atoms: methane, same as the natural gas used in cooking and heating some homes.
2 carbon atoms combined with 6 hydrogan atoms: ethane, similar to rubbing alcohol
8 carbon atoms combined with 18 hyrogen atoms: octane, the main ingredient in gasoline you put in your car.
So while there are only about 100 different atoms, these can be combined into limitless combinations with other atoms into a limitless number of different molecules.
My guess is that there are isotopes and ions of each element that count as different atoms.
So many different combinations of atoms and different types of bonds.
There are billions upon billions of each element
Yes there are. Atoms are also known as elements.
element
No, only elements are made of one type of atoms.
No any atom is just (and only) an atom of one element.
It is possible only because of different number of neutrons.
In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
If you have pure magnesium, then the two atoms that compose the substance are going to be magnesium atoms. Magnesium is an element, a pure substance composed of all the atoms of the same kind. It is not to be confused with a compound which is made up of two or more atoms of different elements.
No, only elements are made of one type of atoms.
My guess is that there are isotopes and ions of each element that count as different atoms.
Elements are the purest form of a substance and contain only one kind of atom.A compound contains two or more different atoms bonded together.
Elements contain only one type of atom (atoms with the same number of protons). Compounds contain more than one element, and thus contain atoms with different numbers of protons. Compounds can be converted into elements, but elements are not reducible to anything simpler (besides subatomic particles).
No any atom is just (and only) an atom of one element.
Yes, atoms make up almost everything, they can only be broken down into protons, neutrons and electrons. An element is a substance found on the periodic table with certain rules and regulations given to each element. An element is made up only of atoms. A compound is a mixture of two or more elements that can be broken down into elements again, it is not a pure substance as such. So a compound is made up of elements, elements are made of atoms.
An element is a material that has only one kind of atom. For example- hydrogen is an element- it has only hydrogen atoms. Another element is oxygen- it has only oxygen atoms. But if we combine the two elements together, add a spark, we have a bang- and we now have a compound- water. Compounds are 2 or more elements that combine chemically.
atoms in elements are one kind of atom where as atoms in compounds are different atoms example gold is a element and it is made up of only gold atoms and water is a compound and it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms
A piece of pure Iron contains only one type of atom (Iron atoms) but there is more than one atom in it.
You think probable to isotopes; only the number of neutrons is different.
It is possible only because of different number of neutrons.
Different elements all have very different properties. However, you can define an element as a substance with only one type of atom in (e.g. only sulphur atoms). If a substance has more than one type of atom in, then it is either a compound or a mixture, depending on whether the elements have bonded.
