Compare and contrast atoms and moecules?

Answer 1

Element- A substance that cannot be broken down any further than an atom of its own kind, ( chemical means)

ATOMS- The smallest unit of an element that has chemical properties of that element.

Both cannot be broken down any further with the exception of an atom being from an element.

Each Element has physical and chemical properties that can be used to identify it.

Meanwhile, it is rather difficult to identify an atom by just looking at it's physical and chemical properties because it is indeed extremely minuscule.

Answer 2

A molecule is the smallest complete particle of a material or element, composed on one or more atoms or atomic particles. Basically molecules are made of atoms. For example, a molecule of water [ H2O ] has two atoms of oxygen and one of hydrogen, for a total of 3 atoms.

Answer 3

molecules- the smallest physical unit of an element or compound, consisting of one or more like atoms in an element and two or more different atoms in a compound.

atoms- the smallest compound of an element, still having the properties of that element.

Answer 4

An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can not be broken down into a smaller/simpler unit. A molecule is 2 or more atoms bonded together.

Example: O (oxygen) is elemental so therefore an atom where as O (air) is two

2

atoms of oxygen bonded together and therefore a molecule.

Answer 5

Atoms are the units that make up molecules. Molecules are made up of 2 or more atoms. For example when two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom they form one water molecule (H20)

Answer 6

atoms are single and tiny & non breakable particles,molecules are made up of no of atoms that particles can be breakable for other molecules

Answer 7

Molecule is a more than one atom like H2O.
