Is it possible for an atom to have more than one atomic formula?

An element can have a number of isotopes with different atomic mass but will always have the same atomic number.
Some elements can also form two or more allotropes that can have different molecular formulas, for example oxygen can be O2 or O3.

How does the reactivity of an atom with an atomic number of 10 compare to the reactivity of an atom with an atomic number of 5?
Boron (atomic number 5) is more reactive than neon (atomic number 10).
What is a polyatomic formula?
A formula that contains more than one atom.
What one has more mass an atom of gold or lead?
The atomic weight/mass of Lead is 207.19 --- --- --- The atomic weight/mass of Gold is 196.96655 --- --- --- --- --- --- Therefor Lead has more mass.
Why can atoms have more than one mass number but only one atomic number?
Each atom exists in nature with varying numbers of neutrons (isotopes), but each atom has a definite number of protons (atomic number).
Can an atom make more than one bond?
Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible for an element to have more than 1 atomic formula?
Yes it is. thats why unicorns can fly

The chemical symbol formula for table salt is NaCL Which element has more atoms in the formula Which element has a larger share of the mass in the formula?
Na(sodium) has an atomic mass of 29.99, or about 30amu. Cl(chlorine) has an atomic mass of 35.453, or about 35amu. therefore, the one with more mass is chlorine. u kno this because the greater number is chlorine's. ^^ o and neither has more atoms in the formula than the other; ther r no subscripts in the formula, which means that ther is only 1 Na atom and 1 Cl atom. ^^ hope this helps! ^_^
Formula of atomic mass?
It's just a weighted average. Multiply each isotope's weight by its percent abundance. Usually, one is much more prevalent than the rest, but not always. The sum of these numbers is the average molecular weight. The formula is: atomic weight = massa x fracta + massb x fractb +....massi x fracti where: massi = the atomic mass of an isotope of a given element fracti = the fraction of this isotope in the isotopic composition of a given element
An atom with more or less neutrons is called a?
atomic number
What does the atomic mass tellus about the structure of the atom?
The more massive an atom is, the larger the nucleus and the more electrons are spinning around it.
What is a polyatomic formula?
A formula that contains more than one atom.
What is an atom's atomic mass?
The atomic mass of an atom is simply how much all the protons, neutrons, and electrons weigh in total. The atomic mass is figured out using mass spectrometry, a slightly more complicate process.
What is the number of atomic mass in a atom?
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
What element has 1 more proton than hydrogen?
The atomic number is equivalent to its number of protons. One proton in atom is its atomic number is 1. Hydrogen is the only atom with one proton.
What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
Its atomic number. In other words the number of positive protons in the nucleus of each atom and the number of negative electrons surrounding the nucleus of each atom.
How is the atomic mass determined?
Atomic Mass is the number of protons in an atom plus the number of neutrons in the same atom.
