an atom is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
These can be broken down further but unless you're talking about quantum physics, you don't need to go any further.
protons and neutrons can be further broken down into quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons.
the 6 types of quarks are; up, down, bottom, top, strange, and charm
the 6 types of leptons are; electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, and tau neutrino.
the 13 gauge bosons (force carriers) are; the graviton of gravity, the photon of electromagnetism, the three W and Z bosons of the weak force, and the eight gluons of the strong force.
neutral
The oxidation number of an atom in its elemental form is 0. This is because there is no transfer of electrons between atoms of the same element, resulting in a neutral charge.
Elemental form refers to a state where something exists in its purest, original, or most basic form. It can be used to describe the fundamental essence or characteristics of something, often in a natural or unaltered state.
0 in the elemental form, +3 in its compounds
0 in elemental form, +2 in its compounds
Oxidation state of any element in its elemental state is 0
Silver has 47 electrons in its elemental form. The number of electrons always equal to the atomic number of the atom in its elemental state.
oxidation number
No, they are elements that usually exist as diatomic (two-atom) molecules in their elemental form.
The atom was first split in a laboratory at University of Chicago in 1938.
Sodium is an atom. It is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. Sodium exists as single atoms and does not naturally occur as a molecule in its elemental form.
