No, particles are little parts of atoms that chooses what type of atom it will be.Such as gold or iron.Particles are electons,nuetrons and protons.The amount of each proton nuetron or electron also chooses what type pf atom it will be.A molicule is several atoms put together

∙ 7y agoParticles/molecules/atoms = same thing.
A particle is a term used for any single small thing. It could be an individual atom, a small molecule of water or something as big as dust or sand.
A molecule just means that there are two or more atoms chemically bonded together.
So all molecules are particles and particles definitely can be molecules!

∙ 13y agoAtoms are the smallest particles of matter which can react individually.Matter is made up of
atoms.Molecules are a group of atoms which may react or not react individually.Therefore
atoms and molecules are both particles.

∙ 12y agodepends. "Particles" usually refers to atoms (smaller than molecules), but can also refer to subatomic particles, and any other small matter such as dust. "Particles is a general term for small pieces of matter.

Are dye particles bigger than water particles?
yes
Do particles move most rapidly in boiling water or a stream at 110 degrees celsius?
Particles move most rapidly in stream rather than in boiling water.This is because the molecules of gases are loosely arranged than the molecules of liquids.So there will be more free space for the molecules to move in gases than in liquids.
Which particles in an atom are in the molecules?
All of them. Molecules are made of atoms, not pieces of atoms.
How would air particles in a balloon at 0 C compare to air particles in a balloon at 100 C?
The individual molecules will be moving faster at 100 °C, than at 0°C. The molecules would also be further apart (ie. they would occupy a larger volume).
Is a particle of liquid Mercury the same size as the space between particles of Mercury in gas form?
No. The spaces between the particles in a gas are much bigger than the particles themselves. The size of a particle does not vary between the states of a substance.
Why does red ink travel further than yellow ink in chromatography?
because yellow is a bigger particle, and in chromatography, the bigger molecules/particles fall out first, while the smaller particles continue moving.
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.
Are dye particles bigger than water particles?
yes
Are atoms bigger than molecules?
No. Molecules are made of atoms.
Is sucrose molecules bigger than glucose molecules?
Yes
What is one difference between a colloid and solution?
a solution is a well-mixed mixture containing a solvent and at least one solute that has the same properties throughout. a colloid is a mixture containing small, undissolved particles that do not settle out.
Do organisms have molecules?
Yes. Everything that is bigger than molecules is made of molecules.
Is molecules bigger than moles?
no
How does the distance between the particles in atmospheric air compare to the size of the particles themselves?
Usually in a gas, the distance between molecules is larger.
What are bigger than Subatomic particles?
Other elementary particles which are not parts of the atom.
Subatomic particles bigger than molecles?
subatomic particles make up the molecule
A colliod has smaller particles than a solution?
No, a solution has much smaller particles than a colloid. In a solution the particles are individual atoms, molecules, or ions.
