Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down by chemical means. The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.

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


How many atoms are in a pinhead?

Depends on the element. Atoms of different elements have different atomic radii, making the area one takes up less or greater than another.


What are the main ideas of Dalton's atomic theory?

The ancient Greek philosophers had talked about atoms, but Dalton's theory was different in that it had the weight of careful chemical measurements behind it. It wasn't just a philosophical statement that there are atoms because there must be atoms. His atomic theory had these fundamental points :Elements consist of tiny particles called atoms.Elements are pure because all atoms of an element are identical and that in particular they have the same mass.Elements differ from one another because atoms of each element are different from one another; in particular, they have different masses.Compounds consist of atoms of different elements combined together. Compounds are pure substances (remember they cannot be separated into elements by phase changes) because the atoms of the different elements are bonded to one another somehow, perhaps by hooks, and are not easily separated from one another.Compounds have constant composition because they contain a fixed ratio of atoms and each atom has its own characteristic weight, thus fixing the weight ratio of one element to the other.Chemical reactions involved the rearrangement of combinations of the atoms in a substance.Dalton's Atomic Theory had several main points, which are variously grouped into five statements :1) All matter is made of atoms.2) Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass and chemical properties.3) Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.4) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. The elements combine in simple, whole-number ratios.5) Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed, but merely rearranged in their compounds with other elements. They can be combined, separated, or changed in the way in which they are arranged.


What part of an atom can move to another object?

When an atom of one element is brought in contact with an atom of another element, electrons get transferred from one element to another. However, if the atoms of same element come together then electrons are shared and not transferred. Exception to this is elements in noble gases.

No. Elements are make up of only one type of atom, rocks are made up of many different elements.


What is To move from one object to another or one place to another?

Transitioning means moving from one object or place to another in a smooth and continuous manner. This can involve changing position, location, or state between different elements.
