Which of these is always true of atoms?
protons, electrons AND neutrons are always equal in number
they are always bonded to another atom
they always have a charge
they are always neutral in elements
In the neutral atom, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons, but atoms can borrow or loan electrons and become ions. Additionally, the number of neutrons an atom of a given element can have can vary. We call these different variations in structure isotopes of that element. The only common thread in the atomic structure of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. All the atoms of a given element will have the same number of protons. Always.
The atoms of any given element are different from the atoms of every other element.
more eletcrons than protons
Electrons orbit the nucleus
Carbon atoms have the unusual property of being able to bond with each other to form very long chains. Hope this helps!
This property was not determined with only some thousand atoms available.
Oxygen atoms have a greater electronegativity than hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.
Yes.
atoms are arranged in various manner according to the type of materials being discussed. eg in gaseous materials , the atoms are free and move around, in case of the hard substances ,the atoms are closely packed . this determines the physical property of the substance's.
Electric charge is a property of some subatomic particles. Atoms can be neutral (zero electric charge), or they can have a charge. If they have a charge, they are called ions.
It is atoms
chemical property
Yes, all gasses can be compressed. The very property of being a gas means that there are spaces between the individual atoms/molecules.
Malleability is a property of atoms, especially metals, where they can be beateninto thin sheets.
Ductility is a property of atoms, especially metals, where they can be drawn into thin wires.
Predict if atoms of chlorine and fluorine easily take on 1 additional electron, which other kinds of atoms will also have this chemical property
zinc
Carbon atoms have the unusual property of being able to bond with each other to form very long chains. Hope this helps!
Nitrogen atoms are similar in shape and size to Carbon atoms
Atomic Number
Argon is an element and all the atoms in argon are argon atoms.
