This is an element.
A chemical element is a pure substance that consists entirely of atoms with the same atomic number, meaning they have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Each element is distinguished by the number of protons it contains.
No, manganese is an element and is considered a pure substance. It consists of only one type of atom.
Uranium is a natural chemical element, a pure element.
Oxygen gas is considered to be a pure substance because it consists of only one type of atom, which is oxygen.
Hydrogen gas is a pure substance because it consists of only one type of atom, which is hydrogen. It is not a mixture because it does not contain different substances mixed together.
An element is a pure substance that cannot be divided further. It consists of only one type of atom and retains its chemical properties.
Potassium metal is a pure substance. In fact, it is an element as well. The reason potassium metal is an element is that it only contains one type of atom (all atoms of potassium have the same number of protons).
The substance that consists of only one type of atom is best exemplified by elements on the periodic table, such as gold (Au), oxygen (O), or carbon (C). Each element is made up of only one type of atom, which cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances.
What type of substance is always made up of a single type of atom?
Carbon monoxide is a molecular compound made up of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. It is not an element because it is composed of different types of atoms. However, it can be considered a pure substance because it consists of only carbon and oxygen atoms combined in a fixed ratio.
No. An element is a pure substance made of only one kind of atom. A compound is a pure substance made of two or more kinds of atom.
Yes. Such a pure substance with more than one type of atom is called a chemical compound.
