Atoms are things that make up elements and compounds

Their behaviour varies depending on their state.

Atoms in solids vibrate but don't move around

Atoms in liquids move around but stick together.

Gas particles are very free and they shoot about in the air

What is common to the atoms of different elements such that they behave similarly?

their internal structure makes them behave in a similar way.


How do atoms of metalloids behave when combined with atoms of other elements'?

they can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So depending on the conditions these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetals


Groups of atoms that behave as though they were but one single atom are called?

Elements


How would the atoms behave if you decreased the heat?

The lose energy and move/vibrate slower


Why do atoms behave like a magnet?

Atoms behave as magnets for two reasons. First, the electrons which make up the atom are themselves magnets, with magnetic dipole moments of magnitude one Bohr magneton Second, the atoms are ''orbiting'' the nucleus, and this orbital motion etcAnswered by,Justin James


What causes atoms to behave the way they do?

Atoms in a substance behave based on their interactions with other atoms and external forces like temperature and pressure. These interactions are governed by the fundamental forces of nature, including electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. The behavior of atoms is also influenced by quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of particles at the smallest scales.


What is need of model of atoms?

Atomic models tell us about the structure of an atom which is based on what we know about how atoms behave. But it is not necessary that it will be a genuine picture of the structure of an atom.


What is a sentence using the word atoms?

Atoms collide with other atoms.You cannot see atoms with the naked eye.Scientists study how atoms behave.


How can we understand the behavior of atoms by considering thermometers as speedometers for atoms?

By using thermometers as speedometers for atoms, we can measure the kinetic energy of atoms, which is related to their speed. This helps us understand how atoms move and behave in different conditions, providing insights into their behavior and interactions.


How do valence electrons of atoms behave when forming an ionic bond?

Electrons are transferred when ionic bonds are formed.


Why do all atoms of an element have the same chemical prperties?

Because they are all the same type of atoms. Oxygen is an element. If you have 10 oxygen atoms, they will all behave like oxygen, since they are the same element.
