The "big wheel" in molybedenum blue is quite big with 532 oxygen atoms in the structure.

If you include solid state compounds with network anions such as silicates then the number would be much much bigger, only restricted by the size of the single crystal you could make.

A compound is composed of one or more combined in fixed ratios?

A compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in fixed proportions. These proportions are determined by the chemical formula of the compound, which specifies the types and numbers of atoms present in the compound.


Why do elements in the same period have property's that are different from one another?

They have different numbers of valance electrons...


An atom that gains or loses electrons becomes?

Electrons have a negative charge, so they are usually written as "e-". When an atom loses an electron, the net charge on the atom increases.Suppose a hydrogen atom is hanging out (note that hydrogen is diatomic, but ignore that part for now) and somehow loses its electron. The electron will get taken up by something else with a positive charge (opposite charges attract each other). In general it would look something like the following:H -> H+ + e-This positively charged hydrogen (H+ on the products side) is considered a Cation (cation's are positive as they have a T in them that looks like a +, anions don't have a T so they are what we call negatively charged anions).


What is smaller atoms or bacteria?

a Virus is smaller than a bacteria. Viruses are so small that they are measured in nanometers. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The smallest viruses are about 20 nanometers in diameter, while the largest viruses are more than 200 nanometers in diameter. The average virus is quite small when compared with even the smallest cells-- those of bacteria CREDITS TO: NORTH CAROLINA 8TH GRADE PRENTICE HALL SCIENCE EXPLORER

How many atoms are in a sulfur molecule that has the elemental formula Sg?

A sulfur molecule with the elemental formula Sg does not exist. It is likely a typographical error. The atomic number of sulfur is 16, so a sulfur molecule would typically contain 8 atoms (S8) in its elemental form.

Can the atoms and molecules in matter move faster at higher temperature?

Yes, at higher temperatures, atoms and molecules have more kinetic energy and move faster. This increased movement can cause them to vibrate or collide with more force, which can lead to changes in the physical properties of the material.

Who drew the first picture of an atom?

Several people have proposed different models for the appearance of an atom. One of the earliest of these was by John Dalton - who simply drew an atom as a solid sphere. The Bohr model is probably the most well-known, this contains orbits with electrons circling a central nucleus. Schrodinger's electron cloud model is the most recent that I know of.
