Both atoms and molecules are the smallest bits of elements and compounds, respectively, that retain the chemical and physical characteristics of that substance. We also note that molecules are made up of atoms

Are neutrons in the atoms of different elements alike?

All neutrons are alike. As the name suggests , they are neutrally charged particles in the nucleus of an atom. They carry the same mass as a proton. They are found in the nucleus of an atoms together with the protons. However, atoms of a given element are isotopes of one another, if they have a different number of neutrons. e.g. Hydrogen , exhibits three isotopes. #1 protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 1 electron.( commonest isotope) #2 deuterium ; 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron. ( heavy hydrogen) #3 tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron. ( super heavy hydrogen and radio -active). Note in this table the number of neutrons in each isotope. The next element in the Periodic Table is Helium #1 helium ; 2 proton, 2 neutrons, 2 electron. Note the same number of neutrons as tritium , but now has two protons. A Neutron, in nuclear physics, can disintegrate to form a proton and an electron.


What can be made of atoms that are different or atoms that are alike?

Atoms that are alike can form elements, while atoms that are different can combine to form compounds. Elements are substances made up of only one type of atom, whereas compounds are made up of different types of atoms bonded together in specific ratios.


Why are the compounds not found on the periodic table of elements?

its when too atoms are alike


Substance in which all atoms are alike?

A substance in which all atoms are identical is called an element.


What makes atoms and elements alike?

both have a nucleus of protons and neutrons and outer orbits of electrons


Are atoms of the same elements exactly alike?

yes other than the electron count may differ.


What is one way that atoms of different elements are alike and one way they are different?

they are alike because they all have mass ther diffrent because there lines, and isotpes


What is one way that atoms of different elements are different and one way that they are alike?

they are alike because they all have mass ther diffrent because there lines, and isotpes


Are all atoms alike?

No, atoms are not all alike. Atoms can have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which influence their properties and behavior. This variability in atomic structure leads to the diversity of elements and compounds found in the universe.


Why are atoms and elements alike?

Atoms are the basic units of matter, and elements are composed of one type of atom. Both atoms and elements are fundamental building blocks in chemistry that cannot be broken down further by ordinary chemical reactions. Each element has its own unique type of atom, distinguished by the number of protons in its nucleus.


How are two atoms of the same elements alike?

They have all the chemical, physical, nuclear properties identical. This is not the case for isotopes.


What are substances in which all atoms are alike?

A substance in which all atoms are alike is an element.
