In which is an atom least likely to bond with other atoms?
If it's outermost electron shell is filled.
What is the meaning of central atom?
an atom that holds other atoms
What atom can bond to 4 other atoms?
Carbon
Do all atoms contain at least one nuetron?
no, atoms don't have to have neutrons, neutrons are supposed to be neutral so it wont change the charge of the atom if you add or subtract neutrons from an atom. what will change is the mass number of the atom.
How many carbon atoms can bond to a single hydrogen atom?
Atoms of elements have a fixed number of electrons that can bond with other atoms. Carbon has 4 electrons that can bond with other atoms. So 4 hydrogen atoms can bond with one carbon atom.
In which is an atom least likely to bond with other atoms?
If it's outermost electron shell is filled.
A full valence shell of electrons means that the atom is unstable and likely to combine with other atoms?
No: A full valence shell means the atom is very stable and has little likelihood of combining with other atoms.
Are there protons in atoms?
atom can not exists without protons. At least one proton is necessary to form an atom. For example hydrogen atom. It does not contain neutron. All other atoms has got neutrons also in the nucleus.
If an atom has the same number of protons and neutrons is it most likely to bond with other atoms?
Yes, it is possible.
Which atoms or groups of atoms are always found in oxides?
An oxide always has at least one oxygen atom as well as at least one atom of a different element.
What contains at least 3 carbon atoms at least 1 nitrogen and oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms?
Kevlar does.
When will an atom be least likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms?
When it's outer electron shell is full and it is in a cold (like near 0K) environment.
Why is Hydrogen and Fluorine cannot be central atoms in Lewis dot structurs?
To be the central atom in a compound, the atom must be able to simultaneously bond to at least two other atoms. He, F, and H cannot serve as central atoms in a Lewis structure
Is an atom a microorganism?
no, atoms aren't alive. A microorganism has to be at least a bacterium, which are composed of many atoms.
What is the meaning of central atom?
an atom that holds other atoms
What are oxidents?
An oxide is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom as well as at least one other element. Ex. Carbon Dioxide (One carbona atom, two [di] oxygen atoms).
Arrange atoms from smallest to largest?
An atoms size is relative to the number of electrons an atom contains. Atoms with the least number of electrons are the smallest atoms. When atoms have the same number of electrons, the atom with the most protons will have the largest nuclear charge, and therefore be the smallest atom.
