Which is larger a living cell or an atom of hydrogyn?

Atoms are the building blocks of everything... that includes cells so to answer your question...cells are larger than atoms


Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?

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.


Why are heavy atoms are not appreciably larger than the hydrogen atom?

My theory to why heavy atoms are not appreciably larger than the hydrogen atom is supposedly because that gases can expand and so that hydrogen is a gas, it is larger though if hydrogen were compressed, it should grow appreciably smaller than heavy atoms. Also to make that test fair you would have to make the heavy atom at its gas state so that then you could see the true, fair differ in size between a hydrogen and heavy atom.


Is a helium atom larger than a neon atom?

helium as it contains 2 protons, while hydrogen only contains 1. Additionally, the orbit of the 2 electrons in a neutral helium atom would also be larger than the orbit of the single electron in hydrogen.


What is smaller an atom or an element?

Cannot answer your question in a meaningful way as there is no comparison. An element is composed of atoms that are all of the same element. While one atom of an element is that element, it does not have the bulk properties we associate with the element in everyday life, due to quantum effects. Your question could be analogous to "Which is smaller a golf ball or a pile of one or more golf balls?" But I can't account for the quantum effects in this analogy. Also atoms of different elements are different sizes: an atom of the element hydrogen is much smaller than an atom of the element gold. However one mole of atoms of the element hydrogen at standard temperature & pressure is much larger than one mole of atoms of the element gold at standard temperature & pressure, because hydrogen is a gas and gold is a solid.

Which is larger a hydrogen atom or francium atom?

A francium atom is larger than a hydrogen atom. This is because francium has more electrons and protons in its nucleus, leading to a larger atomic size compared to hydrogen.


Which is larger a hydrogen atom francium or atom and how can you tell?

The francium atom is larger.


Which is larger a living cell or an atom of hydrogen?

A living cell is much larger than an atom of hydrogen. A living cell can be as much 10,000 times larger in size compared to a single hydrogen atom.


Is hydrogen and gold a atom?

yes


Which is larger a hydrogen H atom or a francium Fr atom?

A francium atom (Fr) is larger than a hydrogen atom (H) due to the increase in number of protons and electrons, resulting in larger atomic size. Francium has more electron shells compared to hydrogen, leading to a greater atomic radius.


How many times larger is the hydrogen atom than the oxygen atom in a polysaccharides?

2 times


How does the size of a carbon molecule compare to that of hydrogen?

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.


The larger atom in ammonia is nitrogen the smaller atoms are hydrogen what is the ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in ammonia?

The ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in ammonia is 1:3, as it contains one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms.


What is the ratio of the diameter of a hydrogen atom to the diameter of a proton?

The diameter of a hydrogen atom is roughly 100,000 times larger than the diameter of a proton.


How many electrons are hee in an atom?

The will depend on the type of atom. The number is different for an atom of hydrogen, lead, gold, fluorine, etc.


How much bigger is a hydrogen atom than a proton?

A hydrogen atom is about 100,000 times larger in diameter compared to just a proton. This is because a hydrogen atom consists of a proton at its center with an electron cloud surrounding it, extending the size of the atom.


Can hydrogen atoms have more than one proton?

No. Elements are given their names (like "Hydrogen" or "Gold") solely on their number of protons. If a Hydrogen atom had any other number of protons than one, it would not be a Hydrogen atom.
