Because atoms are in everything!
Electrons
neutron
The smallest part of an element that still retains its properties is an atom.
A molecule is the combination of two or more atoms which may exist free in nature. Does this mean that one atom of heliom is NOT a molecule? yes it is not a molecule it is an atom that exists free as a molecule so the term monoatomic molecule is used for noble gase but not only molecule.
In metals protons are free to move btw atoms throughout the piece of metal.
The smallest part or fragment of an atom is the Electon.
The nucleus of an atom is the densest part of an atom. It contains the protons and neutrons of an atom.
The electrons of an atom can note freely around an atom.
The valence electrons move from atom to atom.
A free element would be any atom that is not part of a molecule.
the valence electrons
Metallic substances have free electrons, which can move from atom to atom, transferring a charge.
elecron can move from atom to atom... yes
Some of the outer electrons of metal atoms are free to move from atom to atom. These free electrons transfer heat readily making metals good thermal conductors.
Electrons are free to move within an atom and between atoms, making them the subatomic particles that can easily move. Electrons are negatively charged and are responsible for the flow of electric current in conductive materials.
Electrons can move from atom to atom and from object to object
A free electron is able to move as it is in the outer shell of the atom. So free electrons can carry a charge. If an atom has free electrons it is able to conduct electricity. Inner shell electrons cannot carry a charge as they are closer to the nucleus.
no an atom is a part of a molecule.
the valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom that has free electrons for taking part in chemical reactions... the valence shell of sodium has one free electron
