How can you use the word atom in a sentence?

One atom is too small to see. A helium atom is the smallest type of atom.


How powerful of a microscope do you need to see a atom?

You cannot see an atom visually with a microscope. They're smaller (quite a bit smaller, actually) than visual light waves. The instrument that's used to "see" atoms is called a scanning tunneling microscope, but it doesn't use visible light, it uses electrical potentials and the pictures are generated by computer processing of the data.


When an atom loses an electron is it called?

When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion, called a cation.In chemist Michael Faraday's nomenclature, cations were named because they were attracted to the cathode in a galvanic device and anions were named due to their attraction to the anode.


What is an atom scope?

You are familiar with a microscope, which lets you see things with "micro" meter resolution. A micrometer is one millionth of a meter. Just like that, a nanoscope lets you see with "nano" meter resolution. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. An atom is typically one tenth of a nanometer so; an atomscope lets you see things with atomic resolution, which is one ten-billionth of a meter.


What form of pollution has one oxygen atom but is still poisonous but you cant see it or smell it?

Carbon monoxide is a form of pollution that contains one oxygen atom and is both poisonous and invisible. It is odorless and colorless, making it difficult to detect without a specific monitoring device. Carbon monoxide is harmful because it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, reducing the delivery of oxygen to vital organs in the body.
