Some elements have atoms with differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. These different types are called isotopes.

Are all atoms molecules?

No atoms are molecules! An atom is singular A molecule is more than 1 atom bonded together


Why do 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms?

Because an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. A carbon atom has only 6 of each. So 1 oxygen atom weighs more than 1 carbon atom and therefore 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms.


Which atom is electrically neutral?

All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.


Do Molecules consist of only one atom or more than one atom?

A molecule always consists of 2 or more atoms, otherwise they would just be atoms.


Why is a molecule more complex than an atom?

A molecule is more complex than an atom because it consists of two or more atoms bonded together. Atoms are the building blocks of molecules, and when they combine, they form new substances with different properties. This bonding between atoms increases the complexity of the structure and behavior of molecules compared to individual atoms.

What is a atom that is made of atoms of more than one type bound together?

There is no such thing as an atom made of atoms. A molecule made of atoms of different types is a molecular compound.


Does most atoms have more protons than electrons?

no a neutral atom does not have more protons than it does atoms. if it really were neutral it would have the equal amount of electrons and protons. if an atom had more protons than neutrons, it would be a positive atom and vice versa. so to answer this question. NO A NEUTRAL ATOM DOES NOT HAVE MORE PROTONS THAN NEUTRONS.


When elements have more than one atom what is it called?

What is is NOT an element?

Something that isn't an element is a substance with more than one type of atom in. (e.g. a nickel atom and a silver atom). An substance that is an element has only on etype of atom in (e.g. only gold atoms, only iodine atoms).
