They aren't. You can heat up any chemical or element and get a gas under the correct circumstances, whether it's a gas at room temperature or not. You could have iron gas or solid metal hydrogen.

How the nuclear atom differs from the uniform sphere model of the atom?

The nuclear atom differs from the uniform sphere model, because they both are made from different atoms because of the elements.


How are atoms and elements different?

atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle


What makes one atom or element different than another?

Different atoms either have a different number of protons(which makes them different elements) or a different number of neutrons (which makes them isotopes of the same element).For example, hydrogen has one proton (and usually no neutrons) while helium has two protons (and usually two neutrons). However, hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons is called tritium(3H) while helium with two protons and one neutron is called helium-3 (3He).


What is the smallest atom in second series?

Helium


What are examples of coumpounds?

Elements are materials composed of only ONE TYPE of atom, for example oxygen gas, which is O2. There are two atoms in the molecules in the molecule, but they are both oxygen atoms. In comparison, the gas CO2 gas is a compound because it contains two different kinds of atoms, carbon and oxygen. Compounds are molecules composed of two or more DIFFERENT types of atoms. For example, water, which is H2O, contains two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. NaCl, sodium chloride (table salt) contains an atom of sodium and an atom of chlorine. There are millions of examples; the bottom line is that compounds have to have more than one type of atom in the molecule. Glucose, a sugar we all need to supply cells with chemical energy, is C6H12O6, meaning one molecule of glucose has 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen, so glucose is composed of 3 different elements and thus, it is a compound and not an element.

How many different types of atoms are in helium?

Helium is an element, so it is made of only one type of atom.


How many helium atoms does water contain?

Water has no helium (He) atom. Chemically water is H2O and there is no He atom present in water.


How many kinds of atoms does helium have?

Helium has one kind of atom: helium.


How many Helium-atoms and Carbon-atoms do you have if you have He-atoms with mass of 40amu and C-atoms with mass of 120amu?

Mass of 1 Helium atom is 4 amu and mass of 1 Carbon atom is 12 amu. So there are 10 helium atoms and 10 carbon atoms


An atom of helium has a mass about four times greater than that of an atom of hydrogen Which choice makes the correct comparison of the relative numbers of helium and hydrogen atoms in equal masses o?

An equal mass of helium would contain fewer atoms compared to hydrogen, as each helium atom is four times heavier than a hydrogen atom. This is because the atomic mass of a helium atom is roughly four times that of a hydrogen atom.


How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?

The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.

Which atomic model best explains the helium atom?

The quantum mechanical model best explains the helium atom. In this model, electrons occupy specific energy levels and exist in probabilistic electron clouds around the nucleus, rather than following fixed orbits. The helium atom has two electrons that exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior, occupying a region of space defined by their quantum states. This model accounts for the observed properties of helium, including its stability and the behavior of its electrons in interactions with other atoms.
