How many different types of atoms are in a molecular compound?

Any compound, whether molecular or ionic, will contain two or more types of atom.


Do any compounds exist only as an atom?

No, a single atom would have to belong to a particular element. A compound must contain two or more different types of atom that are chemically bonded (either covalently or ionically) together.


Do minerals contain one type of atom?

No, minerals do not contain just one type of atom; they are typically composed of two or more types of atoms that are arranged in a specific crystalline structure. For example, the mineral quartz is primarily made of silicon and oxygen atoms. The combination of different atoms contributes to the mineral's unique properties and characteristics.


Do elements contain more than one type of atom?

No, elements consist of only one type of atom. Each element is defined by its unique number of protons in the nucleus, which determines its chemical properties. Compounds, on the other hand, are formed when two or more different types of atoms bond together.


All molecules contain more than one .....?

atom.


What substances have more than one type of atom?

Molecules such as water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) consist of more than one type of atom. Additionally, compounds like sodium chloride (NaCl), which is composed of sodium and chloride ions, also contain different types of atoms.


At molecular level how would a mixture look different than a compound?

A mixture contain two or more types of molecules.


What all substances are made up of and which contain only one type of atom?

All substances are made up of matter, which consists of atoms. Elements are substances that contain only one type of atom, such as hydrogen, oxygen, and gold. These elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Compounds, on the other hand, consist of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.


Does An isotope contain more protons than the standard atom?

No, isotopes have the same number of protons as the standard atom of that element. Isotopes are variants of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.


Is A purified compound contains only one type of atoms?

No, only elements are made of one type of atoms.


How are elements and compounds the different?

Elements contain only one type of atom (atoms with the same number of protons). Compounds contain more than one element, and thus contain atoms with different numbers of protons. Compounds can be converted into elements, but elements are not reducible to anything simpler (besides subatomic particles).


The center of an atom is the neutron ture or false?

False. The center of an atom is called the atom's nucleus. This nucleus may, or may not, contain one or more neutrons.
