What is the difference in a compound and an element?

A compound is a combination of more than one element. (In an "element", all atoms - except perhaps for small amounts of impurities - have the same number of protons.)A compound is a combination of more than one element.

Why is ozone not an element?

Ozone is not an element. It is a molecules. The molecule of ozone is formed by the combination of three oxygen atoms(where oxygen is an element).


Substance in which all atoms are alike?

A substance in which all atoms are identical is called an element.


What is the basic unit of an element that can enter into chemical combination?

The basic unit of an element that can enter into chemical combination is an atom. Atoms are the smallest units of matter that retain the properties of an element and can participate in chemical reactions by forming bonds with other atoms.


Is Pb an atom or molecule?

Pb the Lead is a metal so exists as the combination of atoms not the molecules.


What are the atoms like in a compound?

Atoms in a compound are chemically bonded together in specific arrangements. The atoms can be the same element (in a molecule like O2) or different elements (in a compound like H2O). The combination of atoms in a compound determines its unique properties and chemical behavior.


Is it oxide an element or atom?

Neither. An oxide is a compound consisting of a combination of atoms, a metal and oxygen.


How many atoms are in the element copper and in the element carbon and in the element aluminum and how many atoms are in baking soda and how many atoms are in a sugar cube?

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.


Why is water not a element?

An "element" is made up of a single type of atom. Water is a combination of two elements (types of atoms), namely, hydrogen and oxygen.


The symbol of an element is x.Is its formula also x?

No, the symbol of an element represents a single atom of that element, while the formula of a compound includes multiple atoms of different elements. The formula of an element is typically written as a combination of symbols representing the atoms that make up that element.


How many electrons are in an oxygen atom that hasan atomic number of 8?

The atomic number of an element _is_ the number of electrons in one of its atoms. Indeed, a sample of an element can be defined as any combination of atoms with the same atomic number. Oxygen is the element with atomic number 8. It is the element whose atoms have 8 electrons in their neutral state (and 8 protons).
