Yes. Atoms can be divided into protons, neutrons and electrons. The atom gets its name from the Greek word atomos which is usually translated as "indivisible", though thanks to the advent of quantum mechanics, we now know that the atom is indeed divisible, but cannot be cut into smaller pieces, since quarks and electrons are "point particles" (i.e. take up no space).
What else can I help you with?
Which is the smallest atom?
The smallest atom is hydrogen.
What atom is the lightest and the simplest atom?
hydrogen
What is the meaning of polyvalent atom?
polyvalent atom
The atom with the what attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the what atom.?
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.
The most basic unit of a substance?
Atom
What is smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still have the properties of that element?
an "element" can be divided until it reaches a single atom. But a "molecule" can only be divided until it is a single molecule. For instance, water, H2O, is usually present in the millions to look like water. However, if you divide it up into smaller and smaller portions, say halves, you can only divide it until you have 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen. If you divide it further, it is no longer water. It will become something else.
What is the explanation for how the atom got its name?
From the Greek work Atomos which means indivisible or something you can not divide.
How can you divide how many elements are in a atom?
An atom is the smallest part of an element. The atom consists of nucleus with protons and neutrons and electrons surrounding the nucleus. Both the neutron and proton are hadrons composed of quarks. The electron is a quark.
Can a single atom of oxygen be subdivided into a simpler substances by any physical or chemical means?
in biology or chemistry:yes a single atom can further be divide into a simpler substance by means of atomic fission
The smallest units that oxygen and hydrogen can be divided into are?
An atom is the smallest piece of that element that you can divide it into without changing the element.
How many atoms are in 774 torr?
there are 760 torr in 1 atom so you divide 774/760 and you'll get your atom
Do atoms have elements?
Atoms are elements - they are defined as the basic unit of a chemical element. If you divide an atom of ?, it stops being ? Atom comes from the Greek for indivisible - meaning that the thing in question cannot be reduced to any simpler form.
What does dimensial mean?
dimensial is the molecules within an atom, if you count how many atoms there are, and divide by 56 you know what dimensial it is. Its a complicated procsess but it truely is amazing
What is the Mass of one tungsten atom?
The mass of one tungsten atom is approximately 183.84 atomic mass units (amu).
What is the difference in mass of Na ion and Na atom?
The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion. In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.
What things can't be divided in half?
If they can split the atom, they can divide anything. If you want to know what cannot be divided equally, that would be odd numbers and birthday cake.
What is an atomic radius?
Atomic radius is the measure from the middle of an atom to the outter edge. Usually mesured between two atom. Measure from the middle of one atom to the middle of another and then divide by two.
