What element is found in nature not made of molecules?

Answer 1

Air, water, plants, and animals are not made of rocks.

Atoms and molecules are not made of rocks, although rocks are made of them.

Answer 2

air, water, plastic

Answer 3

According to the cell theory formulated by the German botanist Matthias Schleiden and the German scientist Theodor Schwann, anything that is abiotic (non-living) is not composed of cells (Schleiden and Schwann's cell theory states, "All living things are made of cells.") Hence it follows that if you can rule out that something is living then you can conclude it is not composed of cells. Most non-living things (ignoring viruses and the controversy surrounding their classification as living or non-living) are easily distinguished from living things by the fact that they do not possess all five of the following characteristics requisite for something to be deemed living:

1. Grow and change

2. Reproduce

3. Absorb and utilize energy

4. Capability of death

5. Organic composure Thus by determining what is not living and utilizing Schleiden and Schwann's theory we can find out what is not composed of cells.

Examples of things not composed of cells: a book, a computer, a plastic drinking cup, a pen, a sheet of paper, a rock, a river, a molecule, an atom, etc.

Answer 4

Any material that you encounter on earth is made of an element or some combination of elements. An element is just the name of a substance that contains just one type of atom. An atom is just a specific combination of neutrons, protons, and electrons; atoms/elements are defined in the Periodic Table according to their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus. So every material you encounter is some combination of electrons, protons or neutrons unless you are encountering some very high energy phenomena.

A material which is not made of elements could be pure electrons. Although close to impossible to isolate (they repel each other so strongly), pure electrons would not be an element. Electricity in a wire would not count because this is just a wire, with some electrons flowing through it and those electrons make up the elements in the wire.

A material which is not made of elements could be a plasma. A plasma from Hydrogen in which all electrons and protons are disassociated may be considered not of an element (although not all plasma's would meet this condition and even then you could still consider this plasma an ionized Hydrogen).

Very high energy phenomena, such as those in particle accelerators and the early universe, create fundamental particles and plasmas which are certainly not elements (like a quark-gluon plasma). There is basically no material that you could encounter and live to tell that tale that is not made up of some combination of elements.

Answer 5

The element found in nature that is not made of molecules is helium. Helium exists as individual atoms rather than forming molecules.

Answer 6

Anything that is not organic. Not organic as in whole foods, but organic as in life. Things like minerals and elements are not comprised of cells.

Answer 7

Everything is made out of elements except sub-atomic parts of an element such as a electron, an protonn, an neutron,...

well, abstruct stuff isn't made of elements... like dreams...

Answer 8

No atom found in nature or anywhere else is "made of molecules"; instead, molecules are made of atoms!

Answer 9

All the inert gases are single atoms and not molecules. There are other elements too, gold being one such example.
