Charcoal is normally produced by pyrolysis - heating wood or some other fuel in the absence of oxygen. The remaining material - Charcoal - is mostly carbon (with the accompanying non-volatile, inorganic ash) left behind after the original material has been heated to drive off water and volatile organic matter. What's left behind is mostly carbon but with a fair amount of hydrogen some oxygen still bound to the carbon. As such it is composed of a variety of molecules.

Is neon made of molecules or separate atoms?

Neon is an element, so it is composed of atoms. Neon is also a noble gas, which means it generally does not react to form molecules of any kind.


Is sugar made of atoms or molecules?

What are molecules made up of?

Molecules are substances consisting two or more atoms.


Is Iron made from Atoms or molecules?

Either one. This is incorrect. The correct answer would be that it is made of separate atoms because iron is an element or a pure substance. So, therefore it didn't combine with anyother atoms to form a molecule and that being said it is strictly made up of separate atoms and not molecules. Definitely not either one.


Do atoms are composed of molecules?

No, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, while molecules are made up of two or more atoms bonded together. So, atoms are not composed of molecules, but molecules are made up of atoms.


What was made fist molecules or atoms?

Atoms existed before molecules do. Without atoms, molecules could not happen.


Are atoms bigger than molecules?

No, atoms are smaller than molecules. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and combine to form molecules, which are made up of two or more atoms bonded together.


Is helium made of atoms or molecules?

Are atoms made of molecules?

No, atoms are not made of molecules. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and are composed of a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Molecules, on the other hand, are formed when atoms chemically bond together.
