An atom is the smallest particle there can be and can't be broken down any further while compounds are composed of two or more different atoms of elements.

How do the basic particles of a compound differ from the basic particles an element?

If you think to atoms they are similar. But in compounds atoms can form ions.

What are the differences between butyl and isobutyl compounds?

Butyl and isobutyl compounds are both types of alkyl groups, but they differ in their molecular structures. Butyl compounds have a straight chain of four carbon atoms, while isobutyl compounds have a branched chain with three carbon atoms and one carbon atom branching off. This difference in structure can affect their chemical properties and reactivity.


What are two compounds that differ by the number of atoms present but have the same elements in their formula?

Examples: CH4 and C2H6, CuCl and CuCl2, NaO and Na2O, etc.


Is all matter made of compounds?

No. Substances are made of atoms. Some atoms combine with other atoms to form compounds.


What are the differences between atoms and compounds?

both are pure substances, but atoms represent the smallest bits of elements. compounds are chemically combined atoms, molecules represent the smallest bits of compounds. atoms cannot be broken down into simpler substances, compounds can be broken down into atoms.


What do atoms fuse to form into?

Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.


Are molecules samller then atoms?

No, they are compounds of atoms


What did Dalton's theory of atoms say about compound?

* All elements are made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are alike but the atoms of one element differ from the atoms of every other element. * Atoms are not created, destroyed or converted into other kinds of atoms during chemical reactions. They are simply rearranged into new compounds. * Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements 10A who is asking this question


What are postulates in Daltons atomic theory?

* All elements are made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are alike but the atoms of one element differ from the atoms of every other element. * Atoms are not created, destroyed or converted into other kinds of atoms during chemical reactions. They are simply rearranged into new compounds. * Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements.
