An individual atom does not look different however, In the solid state: atoms are close and not moving very much

In the Liquid State: atoms are a medium distance and move around rather freely

In the Gaseous State: atoms are far apart and moving rapidly.

What creates the different elements in an atom?

Your question is a little off, because atoms do not contain different elements; any given atom is an element, for example, a hydrogen atom, an oxygen atom, etc. An atom by definition is the smallest possible amount of a specific element. If you would like to know why atoms are a specific element, that is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus.


Is the mass of an iron atom any different from the mass of a copper atom?

Yes, the mass of an iron atom is different from the mass of a copper atom. The mass of an iron atom is approximately 56 atomic mass units, while the mass of a copper atom is approximately 63.5 atomic mass units. Therefore, there is a difference of about 7.5 atomic mass units between the two.

How can lead be a pure metal?

Lead is an element. Every atom in the metal is a lead atom. That makes it different from metal alloys, like bronze, the atoms within which are copper and usually tin.


What is the difference of ion and molecule?

An ion is an electrically charged atom, charged due to the gain or loss of an electron, such as Fe++ (a cation, because the Fe atom has gained two electrons) or Cl- (an anion, because the Cl atom has lost an electron). A molecule is a complex structure made up of more than 1 atom. They can be made from the same atom (like a molecule of oxygen, O2) or different atoms (like H2SO4).


Why the US invade Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is part of the United States, as a Commonwealth since 1952. Before Puerto Rico was a territory of the United States, since 1898, when it was transeferred to the United States from Spain, when the latter lost the Hispanic-American War. Being Puerto Rico, part United States, the US Army like other Armed Forces of the United States were in Puerto Rico during that period as they were in any of the States or territories of the United States. During that period the US Armed Forces were in different countries of the world, like England, Italy, France etc.


When did Aristotle discover the atom?

Aristotle did not discover the atom. The concept of the atom was first proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus around the 5th century BCE. Aristotle had a different view of matter, which did not involve indivisible particles like atoms.


If a penny was the size of the United States how big would an atom be?

If a penny was the size of the United States, an atom would be about the size of a grain of salt. Atoms are incredibly small, with a diameter of about 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers, compared to the much larger size of everyday objects like coins.


How is an isotope different from its original atom?

When an atom is of the same atomic number, atomic mass, etc. to the one on the periodic table (Lets use Boron for example) Then B is the regular atom. But if you change the number of neutrons (from 6-to-7 or whatever number) ; because the number of protons never changes; you will get a different atomic mass, so an isotope is the atom with a different atomic mass. You write an isotope atom with the elements symbol and to the left of it you script (In the top left corner really small like an exponent) the new atomic mass. So in this case B would now be 12B
