∙ 11y agoAn element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler form of n1gger. An atom is similar to an element since a n1gger is the smallest particle that retains all properties of the element. An element is a n1gger whereas an atom has mass.

∙ 12y agoAn atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. An element is made of all the same kind of atom. Specifically, all of the atoms of the same element will have the same number of protons. Hopefully this is not "too much information", but the atoms of the same element can vary in the number of neutrons. Atoms with the same number of protons with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes.

Elements are composed of atoms and compounds are composed of?
Elements are atoms, atoms are elements. Elements are not larger objects made up of smaller things (atoms). Elements are specific species' atoms, which have a specific atomic mass which gives rise to the characteristics of the element. Compounds are composed of elements. It is important to note the difference between a compound and a molecule; the words, although often used interchangeably, have aspecific meaning in chemistry. A molecule is a certain type of compound in which the elements have bonded covalently. As such, all compounds are not molecules, but all molecules are compounds.
Are molecules several elements combined chemically?
not necessarily. A molecule is multiple atoms combined chemically, but the atoms do not need to be of different elements. A compound is several elements combined chemically though.
Compounds are made from different atoms of two or more?
Yes, also molecules are like compounds, but they can have 2 or more of the same atom.
All substance are built from what?
All Substances are built from Atoms
What is atoms of different elements can stick together ( making compounds ) via elements sharing or trading arrangements called?
Atoms of different elements can " stick together " ( making compounds ) via elements sharing or trading arrangements called
The difference in Atoms and DNA?
Atoms are the basis of physical matter, and elements are made of atoms. DNA is a very complex molecule made of many atoms. It is like the difference between concrete blocks and an apartment building.
What type of bond will form between elements with similar high elecronegativities?
This is an ideal covalent bond - possible only between identical atoms of an element (H2).Between atoms of two elements a difference of electronegativity exist always.
Which two elements on the periodic table have the biggest electronegativity difference between two atoms?
cesium and fluorine
What conditions suggest a bond will be ionic?
The difference in electro-negative between the two atoms is below 0.4. Atoms are both from the nonmetal groups.
A difference in the atomic number of atoms means the atoms are of same or diffierent elements?
Different atomic numbers represent different elements.
What values best classifies a bond between 2 atoms as being covalent?
An electronegativity difference of less that 1.7 between the atoms
Explain the difference between elements and compounds?
An element is composed of only one kind of atom. A compound is composed of two or more elements (kinds of atoms) chemically combined.
How do atoms of matallic elements bond?
electrons float freely between atoms
What is the key difference that causes the atoms of one element to differ from the atoms of the other elements?
number of protons
Which pair of elements is more likely to form ionic compounds?
Group 1 or group 2 elements with group 16 or group 17 elements. In general, if the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is more than 1.7 in Pauling's scale, then the two atoms form ionic bond.
What is the relationship between atoms elements and matter?
matter is made up of material which is made up of elements which is made up of atoms
What are elemental ions?
In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
