Is for all elements the smallest particle that can exist independently is an atom?

No, for all elements the smallest particle that can exist independently is an atom.


Can atom not exist independently?

yes it just will find a group eventually


What is the smallest part of en element the can exist alone?

The smallest part of an element that can exist alone is an atom. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and retain the chemical properties of the element. Each atom consists of a nucleus, containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. While atoms can bond together to form molecules, a single atom can exist independently.


Can proton exist independently in nature?

Protons are typically found within the nucleus of an atom, where they are bound by the strong nuclear force to neutrons. Protons can exist independently in the form of free protons, but they are unstable and tend to quickly capture an electron to form a hydrogen atom.


What molecule exist independently?

Noble gases, such as helium and neon, exist as single atoms due to their stable electron configurations. Oxygen and nitrogen also exist independently as diatomic molecules (O2 and N2) in the Earth's atmosphere.


Why can't all atoms exist independently while all molecules exist independently?

Atoms cannot exist independently because all atoms strive for a full outer shell of electrons through bonding with other atoms. Molecules can exist independently because they are stable structures formed from atoms through covalent or other types of bonding. This bonding enables molecules to have a stable arrangement of atoms.


Does Hydrogen and oxygen exist naturally as three-atom molecules?

Hydrogen can't exist as a three-atom single-element molecule no matter what you do to it - it has only one bonding site. If you stick an atom with two bonding sites between the hydrogen atoms you can pull it off, but this isn't a question about water. Oxygen can naturally exist as a three-atom molecule - it's ozone.


Why does hydrogen molecule does not exist?

Hydrogen molecules do exist but they are less stable than hydrogen atoms. This is because hydrogen molecules require a large amount of energy to form since hydrogen atoms are highly reactive and tend to exist independently. Additionally, hydrogen molecules can easily dissociate into individual atoms at lower temperatures.


Does Fluorine Form Molecules or Crystal lattices or exist as a single atom?

Fluorine typically forms molecules by bonding with itself (F2). Each fluorine atom shares one electron with another atom to complete its outer electron shell. This results in a diatomic molecule, rather than existing as single atoms or crystal lattices.


Can unicellular organisms exist independently?

Yes, single-celled organisms can exist independently.


Are hydrogen and oxygen polymers?

No, they are elements that usually exist as diatomic (two-atom) molecules in their elemental form.


What do atoms form when they stick together?

Atoms form molecules when they stick together through chemical bonds. Molecules are the smallest units of a compound that can exist independently and possess unique chemical properties based on the atoms they are composed of.
