Does a broken atom of gold have the same the properties as an atom of gold?
Yes, a broken atom of gold still retains the properties of gold. The properties of an element are determined by its atomic structure, so even if an atom is broken apart, it still contains the same number of protons, defining it as gold.
How are compounds formed and broken apart by?
Compounds, particles made up of more than one element, are held together by electrostatic attractions--called bonds--between the negatively-charged electrons of one atom and the positively-charged proton of another. The bonds in a compound are generally formed when two atoms get close enough together for this attraction to form a bond between them, connecting them. Different atoms have different attractions to other atoms depending on the number of electrons that can be bonded to the other atom. In order to break apart a compound, therefore, you must break the bond between the atoms in that compound. This can be done when one atom in the compound comes across an outside atom that it is more attracted to. That atom will then bond with the new atom and the compound will be broken. Bonds can also be broken when energy (usually in the form of heat) is applied to the compound. Different bonds have different strengths and therefore different amounts of energy that must be added in order to break the bond.
Smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down?
An atom is the smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down into smaller particles without losing its unique properties. Each atom consists of a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in orbitals.
If an unknown substance CANNOT be broken down into simpler substances it is?
If an unknown substance cannot be broken down into simpler substances it is made of one kind of atom and an element.
Forces that may cause the nuclei of an atom to break apart are?
Forces that may cause the nuclei of an atom to break apart include strong repulsive forces between protons due to their positive charges, insufficient binding energy to hold the nucleus together, and external collisions with high-energy particles. These forces can lead to nuclear fission, where a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei.
When an atom is broken down into parts what happens to its identity?
This atom loss his identity.
What happens when an atom has no more electrons?
it would fall apart.
What happens in DNA replication?
Base pairs are broken apart.

When water is broken down what happens to the oxygen and hydrogen atom it is made of?
When water is broken down chemically the hydrogen and oxygen atoms split apart from on another and rearrange into diatomic hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) molecules. 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
Which happens first in DNA replication?
(Apex) Base pairs are broken apart.
What happens first in DNA replication?
base pairs are broken apart
Can a atom be destoryed?
Atoms can be disassembled or broken apart, but in a chemical reaction nothing is created, nor destroyed. So, yes, in theory, you could take apart an atom...if you had the money for all the fancy equipment. :D
Can an atom be broken?
Yes atoms can be broken down through decay or manipulating the number of electrons circling the nucleus. Radioactive atoms break apart as they decay.
What happens to atom to make them change?
Your question is a bit vague. An atom can gain/lose electrons to become an ion. Some unstabe atoms can be broken apart (fission) by neutron bombardment or radioactive decay. Some atoms can also be combined to form heavier elements (fusion).
What usually happens when a solid melts to a liquid?
The particles are farther apart from each other, and the pull on each atom loosens.
