Atoms are things that make up elements and compounds
Their behaviour varies depending on their state.
Atoms in solids vibrate but don't move around
Atoms in liquids move around but stick together.
Gas particles are very free and they shoot about in the air

How do atoms affect how materials behave?
A
What is the name of group of atoms that behave like they are one ion is?
Radical
How do valence electrons of atoms behave when forming an ionic bond?
Electrons are transferred when ionic bonds are formed.
Why aren't all atoms magnets?
While electrons behave like magnets, not all atoms are magnets. Electrons typically pair up with spins opposite each other making their fields cancel each other.
Why are all atoms of the same type different?
The atoms may be slightly different in shape or size etc. however if they are all of the same type they will all behave and react in the same way. Eg. Two atoms of Frankium may be different in the ways I have described but their chemical properties, behaviour and reactivity are the same.
How do atoms affect how materials behave?
A
What causes atoms to behave the way they do?
Quantum Mechanics
What is common to the atoms of different elements such that they behave similarly?
their internal structure makes them behave in a similar way.
How do atoms behave in gas?
Yes. Atoms form every type of matter: solids, liquds and gases.
How do atoms of metalloids behave when combined with atoms of other elements'?
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 nonmetals
What is the name of group of atoms that behave like they are one ion is?
Radical
Groups of atoms that behave as though they were but one single atom are called?
Elements
What is a set of rules that describes how atoms and subatomic particles behave?
quantam mechanics
Why do atoms behave like a magnet?
Atoms behave as magnets for two reasons. First, the electrons which make up the atom are themselves magnets, with magnetic dipole moments of magnitude one Bohr magneton Second, the atoms are ''orbiting'' the nucleus, and this orbital motion etcAnswered by,Justin James
How would the atoms behave if you decreased the heat?
The lose energy and move/vibrate slower
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
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 !
The bond that hold atoms together behave most like?
electrical magnets.
