Depends on the type of element. in one molecule of water, represented by H2O, there are three atoms, two hydrogen and one oxygen. In H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) there are four atoms, two hydrogen and two oxygen. The subscripts (small number underneath the letters) tell you how many atoms there are. If there is no subscript, it is understood that there is only one atom.
Elements are made up of only one type of atom. This means that they consist of atoms all with the same number of protons. The number of neutrons, however, can vary within an element; this leads to what are known as isotopes.

Sugar has three kinds of atoms
A pure element contains one sort of atoms, and all the elements have the same number of protons (which define the element). But the atoms can have different masses, so called "isotopes" (see link). Thus, chemically there is only one kind of atoms in a pure element, but there can be several physically different kinds of nuclei in a pure element.
1 sulfur atom 2 oxygen atoms
Na2SO4Three different types of atoms.2 atoms of sodium.1 atom of sulfur.4 atoms of oxygen.This compound is called,sodium sulfate.
Silver is an element, pure silver would contain only silver atoms.
No. An element is made up of only one type of atom. Water and oil are made up of many different types of atoms, so they do not form an element.

Some elements have isotopes - atoms with a different number of neutrons.

One you idiot it's an element Au
There are only THREE TYPES of atoms. They are carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).
Helium is an element, so it is made of only one type of atom.
A molecule of methane (CH4) contains one kind of carbon atom and four identical hydrogen atoms. So there are two different kinds of atoms in a molecule of methane.
No, sugar is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. A common sugar is Glucose, which has three atoms in it: 1 Carbon, 1 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen in the arrangement C6H12O6 . This means that in one molecule of Glucose, there are 24 atoms. So, as sugar [Glucose] has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
There are no "atoms in an element," but rather atoms OF an element. If you are trying to find the number of atoms in a sample of a pure element you divide its weight by its molar mass and then multiply by 6.022 x 10^23 to get the answer in atoms. The answer options are 2,3, or 4.
