Each isotope of an atom has a specific atom (number of protons, electrons and neutrons); not all atoms are identical.
Ans also each chemical element has specific atoms.
A covalent bond.
Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.
if you mean in the same column then yes this is true. They tend to share the same bonding properties as the other atoms in their columns because they have the same number of electrons in their outer orbitals. There are a few exceptions but in general this true. Learn your hybridization and orbital rules and this will be suddenly very clear.
There are no elements that are composed of molecules because elements are what can be found on the periodic table of elements and they are composed of atoms. When many of these atoms are mixed together they can become molecular compounds because they share their valence electrons and create a bond. Example: Hydrogen (H) is an element, Oxygen (O) is also an element and together they can become H20 which is a molecular compond more commonly known as a molecule.
Atoms can combine only if they are having an incomplete valence shell. They combine to attain an octet structure. They can also share electrons. There are some elements whose atoms do not combine, they are the inert gases.
both they will transfer and share the atoms they are made of
True. Nitrogen can share three pairs of electrons and has a lone pair of electrons for a total of eight in it's valence shell
yeap!
A covalent bond.
their atoms take,give,or share electrons with other atoms :)

They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
True
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.

Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
