Is all matter made of compounds?

No. Substances are made of atoms. Some atoms combine with other atoms to form compounds.


Are all atoms made up of molecules which may combine to form elements?

No. Molecules are made of atoms, not the other way around. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.


What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?

Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.


What usually happens to the outer electrons of matalic atoms when they combine chemically?

They form bonds with other atoms.


How does atoms combine to form molecules?

They can combine in lots of ways. Some reactive elements will combine on their own but others need heating to combine. Noble gases (krypton, argon, xenon, helium, neon and radon) do not react (combine) with other atoms.


What parts of atoms combine to form different compounds with different properties?

Atoms combine through their outer electrons to form different compounds with distinct properties. The number and arrangement of electrons in the outermost energy level determine how atoms will interact with one another. This interaction forms chemical bonds, leading to the creation of compounds with varying properties.


What sort of atoms do metals combine with?

Metals combine with other metals to form alloy solutions, they can form solutions with other compounds by being dissolved in them, in most cases. As well, they form ionic bonds with nonmetals.


What atoms form when they combine together?

When atoms combine, they form molecules. The type of molecule formed depends on the atoms involved and how they bond with each other. Bonding can occur through ionic bonds (transfer of electrons) or covalent bonds (sharing of electrons).


According to Dalton what happens to atoms during a chemical reaction?

Combine with other atoms Separate from other atoms they are already attached to.


Why do some atoms bond with other atoms?

Atoms combine with other atoms to form compound. It makes the atoms stable.


What happens atoms combine?

uncomplete atoms attract each other sort of like a magnet. when they 'stick' together they are then called a molecule but there are atoms that do not form together because they are complete. they are called Noble Gases.
