Diatomic molecules (O2, N2 etc) contain two atoms.

∙ 13y agoAnswer:
An atom is smaller than a molecule.
In an atom, you have subatomic particles - mainly electrons, protons, and neutrons. The number of protons is dependant on what atom it is.
Answer:
As the smallest molecules are made from two atoms (e.g. diatomic gasses like oxygen and hydrogen) and the largest molecules are made up of hundreds of thousands of atoms (e.g. the largest known polypeptide, titin), then the most literal answer would have to be:
There is a fraction between 0.5 and less than 0.0000025 of a molecule to an atom, depending upon what molecule that atom is part of.

∙ 15y agoit can range from 2 to thousands. A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that contains all the properties of that compound. It can also be the smallest particle of an element if the individual atoms would be otherwise unstable on their own. The smallest molecule is that of gaseous Hydrogen - just two hydrogen atoms joined together. Another simple molecule is that of water - just two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom joined together. A more complex molecule is alcohol (ethanol) - 2 carbon atoms (C), 1 oxygen atom (O) and 6 hydrogen atoms (H) all joined together in this pattern: CH3- CH2-O-H Some molecules, however, especially molecules of protein, have several thousand atoms in them and are far too complex to describe here.

∙ 15y agoElements don't come in molecules. Molecules are collections of elemental atoms bonded together. For example, the molecule, water, is made up of two atoms of the element Hydrogen and one atom of the element Oxygen.
The number of atoms of an element in a molecule depends on what the chemical formula is.

∙ 14y agoMolecules aren't in elements, it's the other way around. Elements are in molecules. And the number of elements per molecule depends upon which molecule we are talking about. For example the water molecule contains 3 atoms, two of hydrogen and one of oxygen.

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe number probably could be infinite. There are so vast possibilities in combinations of atoms that I wound't even think of a number. Someone else might, though !
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoTwo or more atoms make up one molecule. It depends on the chemical compound. For example, a water molecule has two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

Which of these properties of water cannot be attributed to hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
non polar molecule
What does volume and density have to do with convection currents?
i know density is the molecules in the heat when the molecules are heated they spread apart and rise then over time they cool down and sink when they are cold they come together like when you're cold you want to bundle up to warm up and when you're hot you don't want anyone near because you want to cool off i don't know about volume but i'm guessing it's how many molecules are in air if there are a lot of molecules in heated air it rises more because the molecules bounce off of each other when there are many molecules in cold air they heat faster because there are more molecules but I don't know I hope the density part helps
What gas is at room temperature and is made of molecules?
Many gases are made of molecules and exist at room temperature. The atmosphere is mainly oxygen and nitrogen, both these have molecules with two atoms. O2 and N2. Then there are small amounts of other gases like carbon dioxide CO2, methane CH4, sulphur dioxide SO2. So there are plenty of molecules.
Does a medium need molecules?
Mediums are made of molecules. Actually, we're all made of molecules whether we are mediums or not. We require molecules to breath, to drink, to eat, and to exist. Psychic ability has no bearing on one's need for molecules.
How does the movement of molecules in warm objects compare with the movement of molecules in cooler objects?
warmer molecules are more excited and therefore move faster than colder molecules

Can compounds be made up of many molecules?
yes compounds can be made of many molecules
How many elements are in molecules?
There are many different molecules. You should specify a specific molecule
Are molecules and elements the same thing?
Molecules and elements are not the same thing. There are many molecules in elements but not elements inside of molecules.
How do you use the word molecules in a sentence?
there are 'molecules' in many everyday items. 'molecules' are studied in science.
