All elements are made up of a single atom. This is the defining characteristic that makes it an element as opposed to a compound.

Is a molecule also an element?
No, the other way 'round. An element exists at the single-atom level. A molecule is made of more than one atom. It can be a single element(hydrogen is more stable if 2 form a molecule H2), or can be hugely complex and made up of many different elements.
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.
What is bigger atom or cell?
A cell is larger, as it is composed of many atoms of different elements.
How many elements are in a atom?
i don't know about 2
What information does the atomic number tell you about an atom?
We use atomic number for recognize chemical elements. atomic number means, how many protons are there in a single atom.
What is the atomic number for the atom?
We use atomic number for recognize chemical elements. atomic number means, how many protons are there in a single atom.
What does the atomic number say about an atom?
We use atomic number for recognize chemical elements. atomic number means, how many protons are there in a single atom.

Are sedimentary and metamorphic rock considered elements?
No. Elements are make up of only one type of atom, rocks are made up of many different elements.

Why tree is not an element?
An element is one single type of atom, oxygen is an element so are hydrogen and carbon. A tree is made of many elements put together, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen etc.
What is the atom number in a proton?
there are no atoms in a proton. a Proton is a part in the nuleus of an atom. the other parts of an atom are neutrons and electrons
What is bigger atom or cell?
A cell is larger, as it is composed of many atoms of different elements.
How many elements are in an atom?
One.
Is iron alive?
No. Iron is a single element. To be alive it would have to be made of many elements.

What is the atomic number of ypour element?
We use atomic number for recognize chemical elements. atomic number means, how many protons are there in a single atom.
