The atom is the smallest part of matter that represents a particular element. For quite a while, the atom was thought to be the smallest part of matter that could exist. But in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th, scientists discovered that atoms are composed of certain subatomic particles and that, no matter what the element, the same subatomic particles make up the atom. The number of the various subatomic particles is the only thing that varies. Scientists now recognize that there are many subatomic particles (this really makes physicists salivate). But in order to be successful in chemistry, you really only need to be concerned with the three major subatomic particles: Protons Neutrons Electrons
What else can I help you with?
Are the argon oxygen and water particles similar to the neon particles?
No, argon, oxygen, and water particles differ from neon particles in terms of composition, mass, and properties. Argon and oxygen are elements found in the atmosphere, while water is a compound. Neon is also an element but differs from the others in properties such as density and reactivity.
What particles are in a liquid can?
Particles that can be found in a liquid can include molecules of the liquid itself, dissolved solute particles, and sometimes suspended particles such as dust or bacteria. These particles contribute to the properties and behavior of the liquid.
Why do colligative properties only depend on concentration?
Colligative properties, like boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, depend only on the number of solute particles in a solution, not on the type of solute. This is because these properties are influenced by the disruption of solvent-solvent interactions by the solute particles, which is directly related to the concentration of solute particles in the solution.
What is the definition of particles in chemistry and how do they contribute to the properties of matter?
In chemistry, particles are tiny units that make up matter. They include atoms, ions, and molecules. Particles contribute to the properties of matter by determining its physical and chemical characteristics, such as size, shape, and reactivity. The arrangement and movement of particles affect the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and its behavior in different conditions.
Are elements particles?
yes
What properties should a pancake have?
it should have flour particles fat particles and protein particles
Is Light has many of the properties of waves but light can also act as though it is a stream of?
... particles.... particles.... particles.... particles.
What does light travel in?
The simplest answer is that light consists of particles with wave properties. Elementary particles also have wave properties. This is how light travels.
Who concluded that particles can have some of the properties of light?
Albert Einstein concluded in his paper on the photoelectric effect that light behaves as particles. This led to the concept of photons, which are particles of light that have properties of both waves and particles.
What common properties does solution have?
it have small particles
How do scientists study the properties of subatomic particles through photon collisions?
Scientists study the properties of subatomic particles through photon collisions by using high-energy photons to collide with the particles. This collision allows scientists to observe the interactions and behaviors of the particles, providing valuable insights into their properties and characteristics.
What is the particles of an element?
atoms which have the same properties of that element
What common properties does liquid solution have?
it have small particles
A property that is determined by the number of particles present in a system but that is independent of the properties of the particles themselves?
Colligative Property! :)
What is the term that is used to describe the properties of solutions that are dependent on the number not the type of solute particles?
Colligative Properties
What are the characteristics of the properties of matter?
Properties of matter include physical properties (such as color, density, and state), chemical properties (such as reactivity and flammability), and mechanical properties (such as hardness and elasticity). These characteristics help describe how matter behaves and interacts with its surroundings.
Particles that can be classified by their properties make up what?
Elements
