Yes, a molecule of oxygen (O2) is larger than a molecule of hydrogen (H2) because an oxygen atom has a larger atomic radius and can form stronger bonds with other atoms, resulting in a larger molecule size.
The positive charges in a atom, concentrated in its nucleus, can more strongly attract electrons from the outside environment because the positive charges are closer to the outside environment in smaller atoms and their attraction is less "screened" by electrons already in the atom, as smaller neutral atoms have smaller number of such electrons than larger neutral atoms. However, note that this principle applies most effectively only down periodic table columns, and other factors such as electron configuration can outweigh the effect of size. For example, hydrogen is smaller than fluorine but has lower electron affinity.
Yes, nitrogen molecules are smaller than butane molecules. Nitrogen molecules consist of two nitrogen atoms, while butane molecules consist of four carbon and ten hydrogen atoms. Carbon atoms are slightly smaller than nitrogen atoms, but four of them are definitely larger than two nitrogen atoms, and of course, there are also the ten hydrogen atoms, and although hydrogen atoms are the smallest type of atom, if you have ten of them it does contribute to the size of the molecule. Further to this, the distance between bonds will be smaller in N2 as this is a triple bond because of 3 shared electrons each, whereas it is single bonds between the carbons, elongating the bonds between carbons
Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of one larger molecule into several smaller molecules.
Atomic (covalent) radius of hydrogen is 31 pm. Atomic (covalent) radius of gold is 136 pm.

Larger.
iodine cells are smaller then glucose ------- I would take exception to the first answer. Iodine is clearly smaller because it exists as a diatomic molecule I2 while glucose is a molecule of 24 atoms, having the chemical formula C6H12O6.
A carbon atom is about 1.5 times as big as a hydrogen atom.You'd need to be more specific about what you mean by "a carbon molecule". Carbon molecules can be enormous.
In a molecule of hydrogen chloride, the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bond between hydrogen and chlorine is pulled closer to the more electronegative chlorine atom, causing it to have a partial negative charge. This unequal sharing of electrons results in a dipole moment, with chlorine being partially negative and hydrogen being partially positive.
The smaller molecule will generally travel faster than the larger molecule since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the molecule. Smaller molecules have less mass, so they can achieve higher speeds with the same kinetic energy.
Electrons shared in a molecule are held closer to the atom with the larger nucleus due to its greater positive charge, which exerts a stronger attractive force on the negatively charged electrons. This results in the electron density being unequally distributed in the molecule, creating a partial negative charge near the atom with the larger nucleus.
Hydrogen particles are smaller than carbon dioxide particles. Hydrogen has one proton and one electron in each atom, making it the smallest element. In contrast, carbon dioxide is a compound molecule composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, making it larger in size.
A nitrogen molecule (N2) is smaller than a propane molecule (C3H8). The size of a molecule is determined by its molecular weight and structure. Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule composed of two nitrogen atoms, while propane is a larger molecule composed of three carbon and eight hydrogen atoms.
The atomic size of francium is of course greater.
No. Electrons are all the same size
