How many times lighter is a helium atom than carbon?
A helium-4 atom is just about 1/3 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
How many times heavier is helium than carbon?
Helium is a gas and is far more lighter than carbon which is a solid.
What element has one type of atom mercury water iron helium oxygen carbon dioxide carbon or bromine?
Of the listed items, water and carbon dioxide are compounds, not elements. The others (mercury, iron, helium, oxygen, carbon, and bromine) all have more than one isotope. So none of the listed materials have "one type of atom."
Why is helium different than carbon with energy?
In quite a lot of ways. --> Helium has two electrons whilst hydrogen has one --> Helium is a noble gas --> Helium is a bigger atom --> Helium's symbol (He) has an "e" compared to hydrogen's symbol (H) --> Helium is less reactive --> Helium doesn't create H-bonds
Is carbon dioxide lighter than helium?
No. Carbon dioxide is heavier than helium.

What element Has mercury water iron helium oxygen carbon dioxide carbon and bromine got one type of atom?
Elements with only one type of atom: Mercury (Hg), Iron (Fe), Helium (He), oxygen (O or O2), bromine (Br or Br2) Elements with more than one type of atoms: Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2)
Is there more than one atom in carbon monoxide?
Yes. carbon monoxide is CO and has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom.
What two atoms are joined together to form a helium atom?
"Atom" implies there's only one there. If there were more than one atom, you'd have a compound. Since helium's an element, all that's in it is helium.
Is carbon dioxide lighter than helium?
No. Carbon dioxide is heavier than helium.
Why do 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms?
Because an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. A carbon atom has only 6 of each. So 1 oxygen atom weighs more than 1 carbon atom and therefore 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms.
How many more valence electrons does a nitrogen atom have than a carbon atom?
1 more. the valence electrons in carbon and nitrogen are 4 and 5 respectively
What is the diameter of the helium atom?
The nucleus of a Helium atom contains two protons and two neutrons, protons and neutrons are measured in Daltons, and a Helium atom is about 4 Daltons
Does carbon dioxide have more than one type of atom?
Yes. Carbon dioxide contains 1 atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen in each molecule.
