Refering to modern Peridic Table gas which is molecule are fluorine, chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine.
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
A molecule is an element if it contains only one kind of atom, like oxygen, O2, and chlorine, Cl2. A molecule is a compound if it contains more than one kind of atom, such as water H2O, or methane, CH4.
An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom . By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .
A molecule contains more than one atom.
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.
Element is a substance made up of only one kind of atoms. Compound r the substance which is made up of more than one or two kinds of atoms. For example-h2o(water) Molecule is a group of atoms which is made frm one or more than one kind of atoms.
Even though we are comparing apples and oranges, I'll say a molecule of water is more complex than an atom of an element of the molecule, and less complex than the nucleus of a cell.
Its a Molecule Its a Molecule
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
Refering to modern Peridic Table gas which is molecule are fluorine, chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine.
No, it's an atom. A molecule is two or more atoms bound together into a chemical unit.A molecule is the simplest complete structural unit of an element or compound that can exist in nature.An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element.A molecule is bigger than an atom. Atoms make up molecules, humans, air, water, wood, everything you could think of. They are the basic building blocks of life. So no, a atom is not the same as a molecule.
