You suppose reality is made up of individual bits of "matter" called "atoms"? And that these things can not exist in of themselves (free state)?
The more powerful question you should be asking is, "why do scientists believe matter can be created and/or destroyed", when that violates their own laws of thermodynamics that state matter can not be created and/or destroyed?
You also need to ask, "why do we still believe in matter/atom concept?", when it is clear mainstream mathematical physics has made the concept of matter/atom too complex to understand?
The state with positively charged atoms energized so that some break free of the nucleus is called the excited state. The opposite of an excited state is ground state.
One of the very small invisible particles of which all matter is supposed to consist., The smallest part of any substance which possesses the characteristic properties and qualities of that substance, and which can exist alone in a free state., A group of atoms so united and combined by chemical affinity that they form a complete, integrated whole, being the smallest portion of any particular compound that can exist in a free state; as, a molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Cf. Atom.
Because in gaseous state all the atoms are comparable. In natural state some atoms (Elements) exist in solid state some in liquid and some in gaseous state.
Yes: Atoms of krypton almost always do exist independently of chemical bonding to any other atoms.
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They are stable, chemically inert, do not generally form compounds and hence exist as isolated atoms.
Atoms cannot exist in a free state on their own, but can exist in a free state as molecules.
All elements and compounds are present in molecular state. They cannot be found as individual atoms. Atoms cannot exist in free state.
All elements and compounds are present in molecular state. They cannot be found as individual atoms. Atoms cannot exist in free state.
bcz their energy is low thats why they can exist independently while the energy of some atoms is so high that they can only exist as ions or molecuoles not as free atoms
Chlorine does not exist as seperate atoms as it often tends be stable by obtaining an electron from another atom. However, the element chlorine exists in free state as gaseous chlorine molecules.
Akaline metal do not exist in free state due to high level of ionization energy in them.
Actually quarks can exist freely.
because any charged species cannot exist alone.
The state with positively charged atoms energized so that some break free of the nucleus is called the excited state. The opposite of an excited state is ground state.
Lots of experiments have been done that can only be explained if you assume that atoms exist; thus, there is a lot of indirect evidence that atoms exist. All this indirect evidence leads us to believe that atoms are, indeed, real.(from exploring creation with physical science by Dr. Jay L. Wile)
