Is steel an atom

Answer 1

No, metals are generally non-molecular. Steel is what is called an interstitial alloy. It is composed of iron and varying concentrations of carbon that 'fill in' the spaces between the atoms and make the alloy tougher. Metals are held together by a "delocalized electron cloud" which allows electricity to conduct well and produces the phenomenon called "luster". In a way, you can look at a chunk of metal as being one huge molecule because of this type of bonding...but don't call it a molecule on a test unless you are willing to study this further and can back up your answer.

Answer 2

There isn't really any such thing as steel molecules. Steel is an alloy of Iron. The iron atoms form a crystalline structure. To make steel, iron is alloyed with various elements like carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, nickel, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, niobium, copper and even nitrogen to give the steel different properties including hardness, corrosion resistance, flexibility and magnetic or electrical properties. These other elements do this by interrupting the crystalline structure in different ways. A crystal of any kind is a packed lattice of particles. This can be individual atoms as in the case of iron and other metals or molecules.

Answer 3

No, steel is not an atom. Steel is a mixture of iron and carbon atoms, along with other elements in smaller quantities. An atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element that retains the properties of that element.

Answer 4

Almost everything have cells, what do YOU think?

Answer 5

No. Steel is an alloy, a mixture of different substances. The primary ingredients are iron and carbon.
