The size of atoms has most to do with its electrons. The electron is a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electric charge.

How many atoms are there in an apple?

An average apple contains approximately 100 billion atoms. This number can vary depending on the size and type of the apple, but it's generally in the range of 10^24 atoms. Most of these atoms are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are the primary components of organic matter.


Does aluminum have large atoms?

all atoms are generally the same size, so "large atoms" would mean molecules.


What properties of atoms is the most suitable reference for the kind of bond that will take place between?

The most suitable reference for the type of bond that will occur between atoms is their electronegativity values and atomic structure. Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons, influencing whether a bond will be ionic (between atoms with significantly different electronegativities), covalent (between atoms with similar electronegativities), or metallic (between metal atoms). Additionally, the size of the atoms and their valence electron configurations also play a crucial role in bond formation.


What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?

Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.


What don't most hydrogen atoms contain?

Most hydrogen atoms don't contain any neutrons. Deuterium atoms are hydrogen atoms with one neutron each, and tritium atoms are hydrogen atoms with two neutrons each, but most hydrogen atoms are protium atoms, with no neutrons at all. All other atoms in the universe except protium contain at least one neutron each.

Which molecule has the most atoms?

Many molecules such as organic molecules have significantly large amounts of atoms such as sugar/sucrose (C12H22O11). Others have more Many molecules such as organic molecules have significantly large amounts of atoms such as sugar/sucrose (C12H22O11). There other molecules such as DNA and polymers that have no size limit and there is no maximum size of a molecule.


Are atoms and ions the same size?

no


How do the sizes of cations and anions relate to the atoms they form from?

Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons and hence are smaller in size than the corresponding atoms. Anions are formed when atoms gain electrons and hence are larger in size than the corresponding atoms.

Arrange atoms from smallest to largest?

An atoms size is relative to the number of electrons an atom contains. Atoms with the least number of electrons are the smallest atoms. When atoms have the same number of electrons, the atom with the most protons will have the largest nuclear charge, and therefore be the smallest atom.
