All elements, including iron, exist when pure in an electrically neutral state. This does not mean that the elements can not contain charged particles, but rather that the number of total negatively and total positively charged particles must be the same in a pure element.

What element has a mass number of 65 36 neutrons and a charge of 1?

Elements do NOT have any charge. Cu(65) has 29 protons with 36 neutrons, the same is in the '+1' ION of this element (Cu+1) which then has 1 electron less than the elemental form(29 electrons), thus 28 electrons. Important to know: IONS (with charge) are not ELEMENTS !

How is a pure element different from an element in compound?

An element is the most basic unit of all matter. A compound is made up of two or more elements. An element can be found on the periodic table while a compound is made up of two or more of those elements. Another difference is that elements in groups 1 through 17 all have charges, only elements in group 18 do not have charges because their outter electron shells have been filled. Compounds do not have a charge because they have formed ionic or covalent bonds which either transfers or shares valence electrons in order to fill these outter shells. ex) Boron is an element in group 13 and is written like this B3+ Boron has a charge of 3+ ex) Dihydrogen monooxide (also know as water) is contains two elements Hydrogen and oxygen and has no charge. This is written like this H2O


To determine the molar mass of an element one must know the elements what?

To determine the molar mass of an element, you must know the atomic mass of the element, which is found on the periodic table and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This value represents the average mass of all the isotopes of that element.
