It is the lightest element.
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.
Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.
because some atoms are bigger than others
both other elements and carbon
the atomic weights on the Periodic Table
This is the relative atomic mass, which compares other atoms to the mass of I atom of the isotope carbon-12.
It is the lightest element.
the atom is an isotope
Yes given enough time
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
No it's the other way around. Elements are made up of atoms.
The answer can be yes or no. YES Carbon has an atomic number of 6, and the vast, vast majority of atoms in the universe are Hydrogen (Atomic Number 1), or Helium (AN = 2). So compared to all other atoms in the universe.. yes carbon is large. NO Carbon has an atomic number of 6 and in the periodic table there are elements going up to 118. So Carbon is pretty low down compared to all other types of atoms.
when they are in contact
Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.
