Each chemical element has a specific number of protons; the number of protons is equal to atomic number of the element.
What else can I help you with?
What is the atomic mass for the element carbon is 12.011?
the atomic mass of just pure carbon would be twelve. the atomic mass is only effected by the number of protons and numbers of nuetrons
In what ways can an element occur in nature?
An element occur in nature as a pure element or as a compound.
Are most substances elements?
All substances are MADE FROM elements but they are not elements. For example CH4 is made of one carbon atom and four Hydrogen atoms. Carbon and Hydrogen are pure elements but CH4 is not an element.
What is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into similar substances?
An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
Is beryllium a pure substance or a mixture?
Compound, no group 2 or group 1 (except H if its considered) exist in elemental form naturally.
What is the smallest unit pure element?
This is not a question or a sentance for that mater. Please restructure. Hydrogen is the smallest pure element. Smallest main structure component of an element is the electron. Hope this helped.
Is pure gold made of 3 kinds of atoms?
No. Gold is an element, so pure gold would consist of just one type of atom.
What does both an atom and an element have in common?
Both an atom and an element are fundamental units of matter. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element. An element is a type of atom distinguished by the number of protons in its nucleus.
Smallest part of a pure substance?
If the pure substance is not an element, the smallest part is a molecule (which is made of atoms) for instance, pure water is made of water molecules, which are made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom If the pure substance is an element, the smallest part is an atom. (which is made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons) Pure hydrogen is made of atoms. A stable hydrogen atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. Protons and Neutrons can be broken down further into Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons. The Electron is a type of Lepton.
What does an atomic number of an element represent?
The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleusNumber of protons in nucleus.Number of electrons in the clouds around the nucleus (when not ionized).
A chemical element is a pure substance that consists entirely of what?
A chemical element is a pure substance that consists entirely of atoms with the same atomic number, meaning they have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Each element is distinguished by the number of protons it contains.
What is atom and element?
an atom is the basic unit of life. it is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. an element is composed of a single type of atom (for example: pure gold is made up of atoms containing exactly 79 protons and 79 electrons...the number of neutrons varies depending on if the atoms are isotopes)
How is are element and an atom different?
An atom is an individual particle made of protons(positively charged particles), electrons(negatively charged particles) and neutrons(particles with no charge). The type of atom depends on the number of protons in the nucleus(the centre of the atom). An element is all atoms of the same type.
Is magnesium a element and why?
Yes it is an element with 12 protons.A chemical element is a pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number, the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the smallest unit in an element?
The smallest unit of an element is the atom. There are smaller components of atoms, but they no longer hold the properties of the element that belong to an atom of that element. There are smaller things called quarks but they are not very well understood. Of the neutron, proton and electron, the electron is by far the smallest.
What is an element or an atom smaller?
An atom is smaller than an element. An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element, composed of a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons. An element, on the other hand, is a pure substance made of only one type of atom.
What is the difference between atom element compound?
A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing just one proton and one electron.
