What is the simplest element?
Well I'm not sure if I understand your question but it's divided up like this Molecule, then Atom then, neutrons electrons and protons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The smallest unit of any element is an atom of that element. The smallest unit of any compound is a molecule of that compound (molecules are made of atoms)
The smallest part of an element is?
The smallest unit of an element that is still that element is an atom. Some elements normally exist as molecules, but under some circumstances these can be broken down to individual atoms.
What is the oxidation number of any atom in the element state?
Zero
What atomic number of the element lead indicates that each atom of has lead?
82 protons
What can be said about the number of protons and electrons in an atom Why?
For any element an atom contains EQUAL number of protons and electrons. An atom has no charge. If any given atom has an unequal number of electrons and protons it is no longer an atom, but an ION.
Do any compounds exist only as an atom?
No, a single atom would have to belong to a particular element. A compound must contain two or more different types of atom that are chemically bonded (either covalently or ionically) together.
Is gold an example of an atom?
A single atom of any element can not be a molecule in the strictest sense, because a molecule must contain at least one chemical bond. (This does not mean that a single atom of gas can not be a kinetic-molecular theory unit, as is true for the noble gases.) A single atom of any element also can not be a compound because that by definition must contain at least two distinct elements.
Are iron atoms pure iron?
Yes, atoms of any element contain only that element. It is impossible to have an impure atom.
If an atom contains 15 protons it must contain?
Any atom should have equal number of protons and electrons. If the atom contains 15 protons then it must contain 15 electrons.
What is the center of an atom of any element?
The center of an atom of any element is the nucleus.
What atom apart from carbon can an organic compound contain?
Organic compounds can contain any element, as long as they bond on the sides of the carbon backbone of the molecule.
How do you find out how many atoms are in elements?
An atom-gram of any element contain 6,022 840 57.10e+23 atoms.
What creates the different elements in an atom?
Your question is a little off, because atoms do not contain different elements; any given atom is an element, for example, a hydrogen atom, an oxygen atom, etc. An atom by definition is the smallest possible amount of a specific element. If you would like to know why atoms are a specific element, that is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus.
What are the smallest particle of an element?
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
What is a charged atom of an element?
An atom of an element means a single unit of the element. An atom is the base unit for any element. There can only be one type of atom in every element.For instance, a gold coin is made up of many, many gold atoms. "Gold" (Au) would be the element, while the "atom(s)" is the unit of the element.
Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
Which element does not have any neutron in this atom?
Hydrogen is the only element without any neutrons.
