Its an element and an atom.
Copper is a element. It is neither compound nor mixture.
An element is an atom or molecule made of a single type of atom. A compound is a molecule made of two or more different elements.
The smallest part of any chemical element that can exist is an atom of that element. The smallest part of a chemical compound that can exist is a molecule of that compound.
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.
A molecule is an element if it contains only one kind of atom, like oxygen, O2, and chlorine, Cl2. A molecule is a compound if it contains more than one kind of atom, such as water H2O, or methane, CH4.
copper oxide is a molecule / compound.
An element, atom, crystal, compound, and molecule are all forms of matter.
An element is an atom or molecule made of a single type of atom. A compound is a molecule made of two or more different elements.
Copper is a element. It is neither compound nor mixture.
An atom for an ELEMENT and a molecule for a COMPOUND.
A single copper atom.
A molecule is the smallest part of a compound that still retains the properties of said compound. As the atom is the smallest particle of an element into which it can be divided and still retain all the properties of that element, the molecule is the atom's analog for a compound.
Copper is an element. An element consists of one type of atom. If there is more than one type of atom it can be a mixture of elements, or it could be a compound or alloy, but not an element.
Element. Compound. Atom. Molecule.
Atom, Molecule, Compound, Element, DNA, etc..
The smallest part of any chemical element that can exist is an atom of that element. The smallest part of a chemical compound that can exist is a molecule of that compound.
No, a single atom is an element. Combinations of single atoms form compounds.
