Explain how elements and atoms are related?

Answer 1

The relationship between atoms and elements is simple: 1)atoms are the basic building blocks of matter(very small).

2a)Elements are substances that are made up of these atoms.

2b)There is a corresponding atom for each element.

3)It is then essential to state, each element is made up of certain atoms that give it its unique characteristic.

4)EX:the element gold contains only gold atoms, not silver, aluminum, or anything

Answer 2

An atom is the smallest representative particle of an element that still retains the chemical properties of that element. For example, a single atom of carbon is still carbon with all carbon's properties. If you cut that atom up any further, however, you no longer have carbon.

Answer 3

An element is substance composed of atoms having an identical number of protons in each nucleus. Elements cannot be reduced to simpler substances by normal chemical means. For example, gold is an element can not be reduced any further. Only atoms will remain.
An atom is the smallest unit of an element, having all the characteristics of that element and consisting of a very small and dense nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by one or more shells of orbiting electrons.
If you take an atom of gold, and further divide it, you will no long have gold but those particles that make up the atom.

Answer 4

An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element. Elements are made up of only one type of atom. Different elements are classified based on the number of protons in their atomic nuclei.

Answer 5

Elements are composed of only one kind of atom, determined by their atomic number which is the number of protons in the atom.

Answer 6

Molecules are composed of atoms of nonmetallic elements through covalent bonding.

Answer 7

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can exist and have the properties of the element.
