Elements are composed of one 'type' of particle (atom) and are GENERALLY not called molecules, but there are exceptions. For instance, Oxygen, Hydrogen and a few other Elements in nature bond with themselves and form molecules...H2 and O2. Free atoms of them are rarely found naturally occurring.
What else can I help you with?
What is only composed of single particles called atoms?
Elements are composed of only one type of atom. There are about 90 or so naturally occurring elements.
Are molecules matter?
Yes, atoms have mass, so they have matter.
Are the small particles that all substances are composed of?
All substances are made from atoms and molecules, and their atomic particles. But solids are the only phase of matter made from discrete particles or crystals. For gases and liquids, the basic component is the molecule.
Are all molecules compound why or why not?
No, not all molecules are compounds. Molecules can be composed of either a single element (such as O2 or N2) or a combination of different elements (like H2O or CO2). Compounds are molecules that are composed of atoms of at least two different elements.
Are elements the smallest type of substance?
Elements are the simplest type of chemical. An element is composed of atoms. Atoms in turn are composed of subatomic particles. However, all substances are composed of atoms, and there are no substances composed only of subatomic particles - at least, not on Earth. It is believed that there exist neutron stars composed only of neutrons. In that situation, you could say that the neutron is the smallest type of substance.
Are fossils the only things that form sand in the deserts?
Sand is composed of small rock particles derived from larger particles which have undergone weathering and erosion.
Composed of only one kind of matter?
A substance that is composed of only one kind of matter is called an element. The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
Has molecules only containing carbon and hydrogen?
Some molecules only contain Carbon and Hydrogen. They are called Hydrocarbons.
Organisms that are composed of only one cell are called?
unicellular organisms
Why evaporation is called a surface phenomenon?
Evaporation can only take place on the surface of liquids because that is where the molecules with the highest kinetic are found. Only molecules with high kinetic energy are free to escape into the atmosphere.
Nitrogen gas consists of what?
Nitrogen is composed of molecules each containing two nitrogen atoms
Why do some materials diffused through the mimbrean while others don't?
the membrane may only allow small particles or may only allow polar/nonpolar molecules, hydrophobic vs hydrophyllic molecules
