Why are atoms and elements alike?

Because the differences in atoms make different elements. Elements are multiple of similar atoms.


What chemical and physical elements make up phosphate?

There are three different chemical and physical elements that make up phosphate. These elements are oxygen, potassium and sodium.


How do you make hydrogen cyanide from sugar?

Since the formula for glucose is C6H12O6 and hydrogen cyanide HCN simply crack the sugar molecule in a fashion that leaves only one hydrogen attached to each carbon and insert a nitrogen into the molecule to take up the open bonding sites. Alternately hydrogenate the sugar to form methane. Then react the methane with ammonia and air over a platinum/rhodium catalyst. This is of course the Andrussow process.


How compounds and molecules are related to elements and atoms?

Atoms are the smallest units of an element into which that element can be divided. And atoms are the building blocks of molecules. Compounds are just that - something that is compounded or has two or more elements combined to make it up. Atoms are the building blocks of compounds. An atom of one element that combines with an atom of another element creates a compound, a molecule of that compound. A compound is made up of molecules, and they can be simple two-atom molecules or can be molecules that are dozens or hundreds of atoms in size.


Why do atoms make up molecules but molecules don't make up atoms?

Atoms are the smallest possible units of PURE substances called elements. There are are only about 118 elements known to exist.When atoms of different elements join together chemically (they share electrons between each other), they form a new substance called a compound. The smallest possible unit (or joined up atoms) of a compound is called a molecule. There are potentially hundreds of thousands of compounds.

Do elements make compounds or do compounds make elements?

An element is the most broken down form of any substance. For example, if you could take a molecule of iron and look at it, that would be an element. A compound is made up of different elements. For example, if you could take a molecule of water and look at it, you would be looking at hydrogen and oxygen bonded together.
