How are atoms and elements relate?
How are elements and atoms related? An element is a substance that contains only a single type of atom. The number of atoms is not important as long as all the atoms are of the same type. You cannot separate an element into other substances..... there are as many elements as atoms - more them 100.
Are two atoms of oxygen still a pure substance?
Yes. Any substance is still pure so long as it only contains one type of atom. In fact oxygen, in its normal state, consists of two atoms bound together.
What element is important in the chemistry of life and forms compounds made of long chains of atoms?
Floxxit (Fx)
How many carbon atoms do all fatty acids have?
They usually contain an even number of carbon atoms.
Do saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms?
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).

What is the relationship between the frequency of the wave source and the wave length of the waves?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number,as long as the waves stay in the same substance. That number is the speedof the waves through the substance.
Can a compound contain different number of atoms as long as it has the same kinds of atoms?
Your question is not so clear. Methane has carbon and hydrogen atoms, the chemical formula being CH4. Dodecane contain also carbon and hydrogen atoms, the chemical formula being C12H26; the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms is here different. Or, otherwise it is clear that 10 g of methane contain more atoms than 1 g of methane.
Do saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms?
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).
If you could count at the rate of 3 atoms per second how long would it take to count the atoms in 1 gram of Copper?
Wiki Answer to "http://wiki.answers.com/Q/If_you_could_count_at_the_rate_of_3_atoms_per_second_how_long_would_it_take_to_count_the_atoms_in_1_gram_of_Copper"Every substance on earth has an atomic or molecular weight. If one weighs out the atomic or molecular weight of a substance in grams it is called one gram molecular weight commonly called one gram mol. One gram mol of any substance contains 6.0221367 × 1023 atoms which in scientific notation is generally expressed as 6.02E23 atoms of that substance, E meaning the exponent on the number 10. This number is named Avogadro's constant after Amedeo Avogadro, an Italian scientist who first identified this quantity in 1811. 6.02E23 means 6.02 with the decimal point moved to the right 23 times! So the number is 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in one gram mol of any substance. The atomic weight of hydrogen, the lightest substance, equals 1.0079. So, 1.0079 grams of hydrogen is one gram mol and it contains 6.02E23 atoms of hydrogen. The atomic weight of copper is 63.546. If one weighs out 63.546 grams of copper, that pile is one gram mol of copper and it also contains 6.03E23 atoms of copper. So, only 1 gram of hydrogen contains the same number of atoms as 63.5 grams of copper! The question is about the time required to count the atoms in only one gram of copper at a rate of 3 atoms per second. One gram of copper would contain many less atoms than one gram mol (63.546 grams). That one gram would contain only 1/63.546 or 0.0157 gram mol of copper. So, multiply 0.0157 gram mol by 6.02E23 and the one gram would contain only 9.47E21 atoms of copper. To count the atoms, divide by 3 atoms per second; then divide by 60 seconds per minute; then divide by 60 minutes per hour; then divide by 24 hours per day; then divide by 365 days per year; then divide by 1000 years per millennium. The answer is that the calculation procedure will take1.00E11 millennia to count the atoms at 3 atoms per second or 1E14 years. That's one hundred trillion years . . . and that with no sleep and no food or water to interrupt the counting! Or, if you could count 100 billion atoms per second, you could finish in slightly less than 17 minutes! A person undertaking this project should at least consider his or her limitations!

How can an equation be balanced even if the number of reactant particles differs from the number of product particles?
An equation can be balanced even if the number of reactant particles differs from the number of product particles. As long as the total number of atoms of each element is consistent in the products and reactants, the number of particles does not matter.
How long will it take to count a Google?
It would take a prohibitively long time. A "googol" is 10100 (a very large number). There are only about 1080 atoms in the observable universe.
