What small particle of substance retains the characteristics of the substance?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
If it is an element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is an atom. If it is a diatomic element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is a molecule. If it is a molecular compound, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the compound is a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest particle that retains characteristics of the compound is a formula unit.

What are the characteristics of the properties of matter?
matter are composed by particles,particles are very small,particle have space between them
Matter smaller then atom?
Matter doesn't really have a shape of its own. Matter is the substance within any object. And an atom is a hypothetical particle of matter and is extremely small. Matter doesn't really have a shape of its own. Matter is the substance within any object. And an atom is a hypothetical particle of matter and is extremely small.
Why wave character of substance not significant in your daily life?
It is only on the extremely small, sub-atomic scale that the wave/particle duality of matter becomes significant. On larger scales, such as the ones we encounter in daily life, solid matter does not exhibit any wave-like characteristics that we could detect.
a small negatively charge particle that orbits the nucleus?
This elementary particle is the electron.
A small particle blown out of a volcano?
cinder
What is a characteristics of a substance?
The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample one is observing is large or small.

What are small Particles that make up all substances?
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.

What are globules?
A globule is defined as a small round particle of a substance. In astronomy a globule means a small and dark cloud of gas and dust against a luminous background.
What is the homophone for small particle?

What is a spark?
A spark is a small part of a burning substance thrown off by a fire. Sparks can also be generated by friction to start a fire.
Is particlulates an element or compound?
Particulates have physical characteristics--solidity and small particle size--rather than chemical ones. Particulates can be elements, compounds, or mixtures.
How can you use the word granule?
The floor was sprinkled with scratchy granules of sugar.
How does electromagnetic energy have both wave and particle characteristics?
This is not something we can explain with classical physics - its a new phenomenon that happens at the subatomic level. It affects everything that happens on a very small scale; for example, an electron, too, has wave and particle characteristics. Briefly, it seems that the wave is not a mechanical wave in the traditional sense, but a probability distribution that tells you what is the probability of finding a particle in a specific region of space. Do some reading - for example on Wikipedia - on "wave-particle duality", for more details.
