Well, in a rather large nutshell, atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Simple! I learned in a short explanation. Thanks!

Most atoms contain one or more?

electrons, protons, and neutrons. These subatomic particles make up the structure of an atom.


Amines all contain atoms of?

Amines all contain nitrogen atoms. They are organic compounds derived from ammonia where one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by alkyl or aryl groups.


What is it that contain two or more different types of atom?

All compounds contain more than one element and more than one atom.


What is a substance that is created when two or more atoms combine?

It is a compound. The molecules of a compound contain more than one element.


Does iron only contain one type of atom?

It is true. A compound contains two or more different type of atoms.


How are elements and compounds the different?

Elements contain only one type of atom (atoms with the same number of protons). Compounds contain more than one element, and thus contain atoms with different numbers of protons. Compounds can be converted into elements, but elements are not reducible to anything simpler (besides subatomic particles).


What don't most hydrogen atoms contain?

Most hydrogen atoms don't contain any neutrons. Deuterium atoms are hydrogen atoms with one neutron each, and tritium atoms are hydrogen atoms with two neutrons each, but most hydrogen atoms are protium atoms, with no neutrons at all. All other atoms in the universe except protium contain at least one neutron each.


Why does a water molecule contain two atoms but a hydrogen cholride contain only 6ne?

H20 contains three atoms - two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. HCl contains two atoms - one hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom. This is all due to valency (how many electrons an atom wishes to gain, lose, or share to form a more stable energy state), which varies from atom to atom.


Do atoms include molecules electrons elements and protons?

No. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. An element is a substance consiting of atoms with the same number of protons. A molecule is a particle consisting of two or more atoms covalently bonded to one another.


What element do all chemical compounds contain?

A compound has two or more elements that are chemically combined. It cannot be easily separated which means that is a homogeneous. An example of this would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl.) :)


Does hydrogen contain atoms?

Yes. All materials you will find on earth contain atoms.


Which would contain more atoms a mole of K atoms or a mole of Au atoms?

Let's see. 1 mole K atoms = 6.022 X 1023 atoms * 19 electrons = 1.144 X 1025 electrons in one mole potassium ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mole Au atoms = 6.022 X 1023 atoms * 79 electrons = 4.757 X 1025 electrons in one mole gold ------------------------------------------------------ A mole of gold, Au, atoms contains more electrons than a mole of potassium, K, atoms.
