An element is a piece of matter that only contains that one type of atom now an atom is what makes up the element and a compound is a mix of two or more elements that have all of those different types of atom's
The smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element is the atom.
An atom of that element has all the properties of that element.
An element is larger than an atom. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element, while an element consists of multiple atoms bonded together to form a substance with unique chemical properties.
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.
An element is made up of only one type of atom, which is the basic unit of that element. Each atom of an element has the same number of protons in its nucleus, giving it unique chemical properties that define the element.
Cannot answer your question in a meaningful way as there is no comparison. An element is composed of atoms that are all of the same element. While one atom of an element is that element, it does not have the bulk properties we associate with the element in everyday life, due to quantum effects. Your question could be analogous to "Which is smaller a golf ball or a pile of one or more golf balls?" But I can't account for the quantum effects in this analogy. Also atoms of different elements are different sizes: an atom of the element hydrogen is much smaller than an atom of the element gold. However one mole of atoms of the element hydrogen at standard temperature & pressure is much larger than one mole of atoms of the element gold at standard temperature & pressure, because hydrogen is a gas and gold is a solid.
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
The smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element is the atom.
An atom is the smallest piece of an element that can be identified as that element.
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
The smallest quantity of an element is an atom.
An atom of that element has all the properties of that element.
"Na" is the symbol of an atom of the element sodium.
an atom is the smallest unit of an element, but an element is a pure substance
An atom is an element. Every atom has a certain amount of protons, neutrons and electrons and these are what define which element that atom is.
An element is larger than an atom. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element, while an element consists of multiple atoms bonded together to form a substance with unique chemical properties.
