Any element can me measured in molar quantities.
One mole of any element has 6.02 x 10 23 atoms of that element.
Hydrogen is the simplest element to use.

What does that mean when BTB solution turns yellow?
It means that it has been exposed to carbon dioxide.
How many different kinds of elements are there?
I think 98. Scientists believe there are 109 different kinds of elements.Nintey of these elements have been made by nature. They can be found in the earth's crust and atmosphere. The other 19 elements have been made in science laboratories. Scientists are still looking for more elements. They are still trying to make more of them in their labs as well. Now this is not the worng answer i got it from a text book. that was at my school. THMS all the way......
Are there 1000 different elements in the existence?
No. There are 118 currently known elements, of which 98 exist in nature. The other 20 have only been produced in laboratories. Elements beyond that would be too unstable to exist.
How could Mendeleevs table be used to predict the properties of elements that had not been discovered?
Comparing the properties of the new element with the properties of the other elements in the group we can make this prediction.
What nine elements have been around longer?
Euclid's Elements probably
Is there carbon on Jupiter?
Carbon is an abundant element which scientists have found on the planet of Jupiter. Other elements which have been found include nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.
What elements have been detected in our sun?
The predominant element in the Sun is hydrogen, and then helium: by mass, it is 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, 1.5% carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, and 0.5% all other elements.
How long have the carbon atoms in your body been on the earth?
Approximately 3.5 billion years; carbon, like all elements, is frangible.
Do elements exist on other planets?
Yes such as carbon dioxide, nickel nitrogen, sulphuric acid, Iron, and boiled water morphed in with the surfice.
Is carbon is semiconductor?
Nothing has been found about the electrical conductivity of carbon compared to other conductors. It is not a semiconductor.
Is uranium carbon-based?
Strictly speaking, no. Elements don't contain other elements. Elements are the individual basic building blocks that compose the universe. However, each of the elements in the periodic table is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. By varying the numbers of these protons, neutrons and electrons... we get the individual elements. Changing one element to another has long been the work of alchemists at least since the middle ages. Changing lead to gold is often one of the goals of alchemists. While theoretically possible, the effort involved in changing an element at the molecular level is no easy task. Many radioactive materials, however, will "degrade" into other elements as portions of the materials reach their half-lives. Uranium, for example, will degrade various other elements as described here: http://home.howstuffworks.com/radon1.htm Hope that helps, enjoy!
Is carbon good or bad?
Carbon is neither good nor bad. It is simply one of the elements which, in combination with other elements such as hydrogen and oxygen, forms the basis for all living matter. Without carbon, there could be no life as we know it. One well-known compound of carbon is carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases. In normal levels in the atmosphere, it is good because it helps maintain the world at a comfortable temperature, suitable for human existence. Because of human activities the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide has been rising rapidly, which is bad because it is leading to global warming.
Is coca cola an element compound or mixture?
It is a mixture because it has more than one element. In other words it is not a pure substance
Which element does not react with other elements?
Generally the noble gases, however xenon (Xe) has been found to create compounds with other elements, most often with F in XeF8
What does that mean when BTB solution turns yellow?
It means that it has been exposed to carbon dioxide.
Which describes why Mendeleev succeeded where other failed?
He realized that some elements had not been discovered.
What elements are in sucrose?
The investigator will find carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the elements in HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It's all C6H12O6 chemically speaking, but there is a catch.HFCS is a blending of 1) corn syrup (which is 100% glucose) that has been processed to increase its fructose content, and 2) corn syrup (which is all glucose). In the world of biochemistry, we can have a number of compounds with the same chemical formula, but that have different molecular structures. Both fructose and glucose each have the same chemical formula as the other (C6H12O6). But by rearranging some of the molecules and then producing a "blend" of the two sugars, we now have HFCS as a food product you can add to just about anything you like.
