Heat does not have atoms, however heat is caused by atoms. Heat, as wee know it is caused by the interacting and oscillation of atoms and from the breaking of chemical bonds.
So to answer your question, heat does not have atoms. Heat is caused by atoms ranging from 1 proton in size to 100+ Protons in size.

What is the charge on plutonium atom?
Nuclear fission of some isotopes release a great quantity of energy. Plutonium is a fissile material (isotopes 239Pu and 241Pu); it is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. Also Pu(alpha,n)Be is a source of neutrons and Pu is used as power or heat source.
How do atoms differ one another?
Atoms of different elements are different because the have different numbers of protons. The atomic number (the number of protons) is what defines which element the atom is. For example, all atoms containing 1 proton are hydrogen. 2 protons are helium, 3 lithium and so on. See the periodic table of elements for more. Atoms of the same element can still be slightly different in the number of neutrons they have; these are called isotopes. Their properties stay the same but they have different masses. You need not consider electrons too much because most atoms have a relatively loose hold on electrons and don't account for much mass BUT!!!! electron configuration is the main factor for determining how elements will react with each other.
Is the colour of a flame based on how many electrons and protons there are?
The colour of a flame is not based on how many electrons and protons there are, however it is to do with electrons. When the electrons furthest from the nucleus of the atom are excited (in this case by the heat of the flame) they gain energy and "jump" up "energy levels". The electrons don't like this extra energy so in order to lose it, they emit a photon at a particular wavelength, which we perceive as colour.
Are the properties of elements are determined by the structure of their atoms?
yes.
What happens to the matter that is consumed in nuclear fusion?
The matter that is "consumed" is converted into energy, according the the equation E=mc2. The original matter mostly becomes the final matter, though a small amount is converted into heat. The amount converted into heat is small enough however, that the larger subatomic particles are all accounted for. We could take as an example a fusion reaction in which a deuterium atom and a tritium atom are fused into helium. Deuterium and tritium are both isotopes of hydrogen, 2H and 3H respectively. The 2H nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron. The 3H nucleus consists of one proton and two neutrons. Each atom also has one electron. The total before fusion is two protons, two electrons, and three neutrons. After the fusion takes place, the product is one helium atom, of the isotope 4He, plus one free neutron. The 4He atom has two protons and two neutrons, plus two electrons. Thus, the total of particles after fusion is two protons, two electrons, and three neutrons. In this case, however, the helium atom and the neutron are both very, very hot. So the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons is the same after the reaction as it was before. The equation on converting between energy and mass is E=mc2, as you know. The amount of energy released in the fusion example above is the difference between the mc2 before the reaction and the mc2 after the reaction. While this difference in mass is so small that it is not reflected in the counts of large subatomic particles, it is nonetheless there. The masses, in Atomic Mass units, of the atoms and the neutron are: at the beginning 2H - 2.014102 3H - 3.016049 which add to 5.030151 at the end n - 1.008665 4He - 4.002602 which add to 5.011267 so the difference between the masses before and after the reaction is 0.018884 atomic mass units, which represents the amount of mass converted into energy in the reaction.

Are there protrons netrons and electrons inside a battery?
There are protons, neutrons, and electrons inside everything that you can touch. If you provide a path for them outside the battery, electrons will flow from the battery's negative terminal to the positive one, and supply some energy on the way that you can use to run things or heat things with.
Identify the charge on the nucleus and on the electrons of an atom?
Each proton has a charge of +1.Each electron has a charge of -1Each neutron has a zero (0) charge.That unit charge is 1.602×10−19 Coulombs (positive for a proton and negative for an electron)
Are the properties of elements are determined by the structure of their atoms?
yes.
Why is a poor conductor of heat a good insulator of heat?
Because heat is electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region, therefore, it is emitted and absorbed by charged particles. Since there are mainly two kinds of charged particles; protons and electrons, the electrons are the ones involved in the outer part of an atom, and they either emit or absorb the electromagnetic radiation. This is a transfer of energy, which is synonymous with the transfer of electrons.
Where do the nuclear reactions start in the Sun?
In the central core, with the proton of the hydrogen atom. Four protons, which have been ionized to remove their electron, are fused together. Two of the protons are changed by the weak interaction into neutrons, and you have a helium nucleus. This is accompanied by the release of energy as heat and other forms of radiation.
What is boron made of?
tennis rackets and heat resistant glass and cleaning supplies
Why are metals good heat conductors?
Some of the outer electrons of metal atoms are free to move from atom to atom. These free electrons transfer heat readily making metals good thermal conductors.
Is a molecule an atom that produces nuclear energy?
No, a bit of confusion going on here. A molecule is an assemblage of atoms bound together by covalent bonds (which is the share of a pair of electrons between said atoms). Nuclear energy is produced by the decay of single atoms that are unstable. An unstable atom is an atom that has an unbalanced ratio of protons/neutrons (the sub-atomic particles that form the nucleus - hence "nuclear" energy). Why are some atoms stable and some others unstable ? An atom is defined by its amount of protons, which will drive the amount of electrons surrounding it and ultimately its chemical behaviour. But nuclei are as well made of neutrons and that number can vary a lot (defining for each given number of neutrons an "isotope" for the element). Example : a carbon is defined as an atom with 6 protons. The most common carbon isotope is carbon-12 which has 6 neutrons as well, but other varieties exist with 7 and 8 neutrons, namely carbon-13 and carbon-14. Of those, carbon-12 and carbon-13 are stable over time whereas carbon-14 is not. It will decay into stable nitrogen-14 (with a half-life of ~5000 years) by the transformation of a neutron into a proton and the emission of an electron.In nuclear power plants (and atomic bombs), the unstable isotope used is uranium-235. By the absorption of an initial neutron it will form uranium-236 that breaks into smaller elements and releases heat, a high energy photon and three neutrons, which will in turn be absorbed by other uranium-235 etc. That heat is what we usually refer to when talking about "nuclear energy".

The matter that is "consumed" is converted into energy, according the the equation E=mc2. The original matter mostly becomes the final matter, though a small amount is converted into heat. The amount converted into heat is small enough however, that the larger subatomic particles are all accounted for. We could take as an example a fusion reaction in which a deuterium atom and a tritium atom are fused into helium. Deuterium and tritium are both isotopes of hydrogen, 2H and 3H respectively. The 2H nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron. The 3H nucleus consists of one proton and two neutrons. Each atom also has one electron. The total before fusion is two protons, two electrons, and three neutrons. After the fusion takes place, the product is one helium atom, of the isotope 4He, plus one free neutron. The 4He atom has two protons and two neutrons, plus two electrons. Thus, the total of particles after fusion is two protons, two electrons, and three neutrons. In this case, however, the helium atom and the neutron are both very, very hot. So the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons is the same after the reaction as it was before. The equation on converting between energy and mass is E=mc2, as you know. The amount of energy released in the fusion example above is the difference between the mc2 before the reaction and the mc2 after the reaction. While this difference in mass is so small that it is not reflected in the counts of large subatomic particles, it is nonetheless there. The masses, in Atomic Mass units, of the atoms and the neutron are: at the beginning 2H - 2.014102 3H - 3.016049 which add to 5.030151 at the end n - 1.008665 4He - 4.002602 which add to 5.011267 so the difference between the masses before and after the reaction is 0.018884 atomic mass units, which represents the amount of mass converted into energy in the reaction.
