You think probable to isotopes; only the number of neutrons is different.
Isotopes - atoms with the same atomic number, number of protons and number of electrons
A pure element contains one sort of atoms, and all the elements have the same number of protons (which define the element). But the atoms can have different masses, so called "isotopes" (see link). Thus, chemically there is only one kind of atoms in a pure element, but there can be several physically different kinds of nuclei in a pure element.
Elements that contain only one type of atom are called pure elements or monatomic elements. For example, helium (He), neon (Ne), and oxygen (O) are pure elements because they consist of only one type of atom in their chemical structure.
All substances are made up of atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These atoms combine to form molecules, which make up different substances.
An element is a material that has only one kind of atom. For example- hydrogen is an element- it has only hydrogen atoms. Another element is oxygen- it has only oxygen atoms. But if we combine the two elements together, add a spark, we have a bang- and we now have a compound- water. Compounds are 2 or more elements that combine chemically.
no. There is one element for each kind of atom.
Atoms are the smallest piece of matter you can get. Elements have only one kind of atom in it.
atoms in elements are one kind of atom where as atoms in compounds are different atoms example gold is a element and it is made up of only gold atoms and water is a compound and it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms
Elements are made of atoms. Each element is made up of the same kind of atoms, having the same atomic number.
If you have pure magnesium, then the two atoms that compose the substance are going to be magnesium atoms. Magnesium is an element, a pure substance composed of all the atoms of the same kind. It is not to be confused with a compound which is made up of two or more atoms of different elements.
No. Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Each element is composed of the same kind of atoms, according to their number of protons (atomic number). Molecules are composed of two or more atoms (they may be the same element or different elements), and compounds are composed of two or more kinds of atoms.
i searched and it is atoms
ATOMS AND ELEMENTSAfter reading this section you will be able to do the following:Define an atom.Define a Basic Element.All matter, such as solids, liquids and gases, is composed of atoms. Any material that is composed of only one type of atom is called a chemical element, a basic element, or just an element. An atom is the smallest particle of any element that still retains the characteristics of that element. A piece of an element that we are able to see or handle is made of many, many atoms and all atoms are the same...they all have the same number of protons. Protons and other subatomic particles will be discussed a little later. The atoms of different elements are different from each other because they have different numbers of protons. The graphic below illustrates this point by showing the atoms of two elements in the containers of oxygen and hydrogen.-----------The atoms in oxygen are identical to each other. The atoms in hydrogen are identical to each other. However, the atoms of oxygen are different from the atoms of hydrogen.Compounds, like water, are formed by combining the atoms of different elements together according to some chemical formula.
An atom is not an element on its own. Think of it as a building block for every element in existence. Atoms are what make up the elements.
No it isn't. An element is one kind of atom, it is not made of different kinds of atoms.
A substance in which all atoms are identical is called an element.
