Compounds are made when atoms of 2 different elements are combined in regular forms.

Repeating patterns of either atoms (one element) or molecules (2 or more elements), or perhaps ionic bonded atoms (2 or more elements, ionic bonds) are found in solids.

The most regular patterns are found in crystals which is a type of solid.

Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?

No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.


Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?

Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.


How do radioisotopes of an element differ feom other isotopes?

Radioisotopes are "radioactive isotopes"; they are not stable. Radioactive atoms will decay, or break apart into other atoms, by emitting an electron, or a neutron or a positron or an alpha particle (2 protons and two neutrons). The rate at which this happens is measured by the "half-life"; after one half-life, half of the atoms will have decayed. After another half-life, half of the remaining atoms will have decayed. Atoms with short half-lives are highly radioactive, and can be fairly dangerous. Atoms with long half-lives are only slightly radioactive, and aren't all that dangerous.


Would carbon dating work if carbon-14 atoms did not decay at a constant rate and why?

Statistically carbon-14 atoms decay at a constant rate.


What Atoms that don't have a full octet?

Atoms that don't have a full octet are typically those that have fewer than eight electrons in their outer shell, which can make them more reactive. Examples include hydrogen, lithium, and beryllium, which can form bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration. Additionally, elements like boron may also have incomplete octets, often forming compounds where they share electrons with other atoms. These atoms tend to seek additional electrons through chemical bonding to reach a more stable state.

How are these atoms organized?

Atoms are organized into molecules by forming chemical bonds with each other. In solid materials, atoms are typically arranged in a regular repeating pattern called a crystal lattice. In gases and liquids, atoms are more randomly distributed and move freely.


What do you call an alignment of atoms?

An alignment of atoms is called a crystal lattice. This arrangement allows atoms to form repeating patterns and structures, giving various materials their characteristic properties.


Atoms arranged in regular geometric repeating patterns are?

called crystals. This arrangement creates the orderly structure typical of solid crystalline substances. The repeating pattern of atoms gives crystals their unique properties, such as symmetry, cleavage, and optical effects.


How are atoms arranged within a crystal?

Atoms in a crystal are arranged in a highly ordered repeating pattern called a crystal lattice. The lattice is formed by the regular, three-dimensional stacking of atoms in specific geometric arrangements. This results in the formation of a solid crystal structure with well-defined planes and shapes.


What is formed when molecules or atoms form repeating patterns?

A crystal lattice is formed when molecules or atoms arrange themselves in repeating patterns. This regular arrangement leads to the formation of a crystal structure with specific geometric properties.
