The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
A proton is smaller than a molecule, which is a group of atoms bonded together. The nucleus is smaller than both a molecule and an atom, as it is the central part of an atom where most of its mass is concentrated.
An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom . By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .
iodine cells are smaller then glucose ------- I would take exception to the first answer. Iodine is clearly smaller because it exists as a diatomic molecule I2 while glucose is a molecule of 24 atoms, having the chemical formula C6H12O6.
An atom is smaller than a cell, and a molecule is smaller than both atoms and cells. Cells are composed of molecules, which in turn are made up of atoms.
Larger.
Hydrogen is the smallest element. It has only 1 energy level. It is a gas element.
The Universe. an atom
The units are incompatible. Millimetres are linear, micro-litres are for volume.
A molecule.
Elements can be broken down into smaller pieces: a compounds smallest particle is a molecule
The smaller molecule will generally travel faster than the larger molecule since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the molecule. Smaller molecules have less mass, so they can achieve higher speeds with the same kinetic energy.
