Which is largeran atom or an element?

That's a difficult question to answer, because elements are made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. Some elements, like the noble gases, can exist as single atoms. Other elements, like oxygen, exist as molecules, such as O2, which is composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to one another. Metal elements are composed of many, many atoms joined by metallic bonding.


Are atoms composed of elements?

No it's the other way around. Elements are made up of atoms.


What element makes stable bonds to itself and to atoms of other elements?

Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.


When are atoms of elements prone to bond with other atoms?

when they are in contact


What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?

Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.


What particle property changes with change in temperature?

Temperature affects the average kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, particles have higher kinetic energy, which can impact their speed, collisions, and interactions with other particles.

Is it true that the basic particle from which all elments are made is a molecule?

You have it backwards, all molecules are made from elements. Elements are the categories of atoms (the basic building block.) Though atoms are in turn comprised of electrons neutrons and protons, which are, in turn made up of smaller things. Atoms bind with other atoms to form Molecules or compounds. A molecule is when a non-metal is bound with another non-metal.


Why doesn't gold bond with anhy other elements?

Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.


Smallest particle of an element that can exist either alone or in combination?

The smallest particle of an element that can exist either alone or in combination with other elements is an atom. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
