What else can I help you with?
Small units of matter are called molecules. When they are broken into smaller units what are they called?
When molecules are broken down into smaller units, they are called atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and cannot be further divided into smaller particles without losing their chemical properties.
Describe the discovery that demonstrate for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter?
The discovery of the subatomic particles demonstrated for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Electron was the first subatomic particle discovered by J.J. Thomson.
Which group cannot be broken down into smaller parts?
Atoms are the smallest units of matter that retain the properties and characteristics of an element. They cannot be broken down into smaller parts without losing their chemical identity.
A false statement concerning matter is Matter cannot be subdivided. Matter is composed of many small particles called atoms. Matter is mostly empty space. All matter contains mass.?
Matter cannot be subdivided is a false statement. Matter can be broken down into smaller particles such as atoms, which are the building blocks of matter.
What do scientists no longer believe about daltons ideas?
Scientists no longer believe in Dalton's idea that atoms are indivisible and are the smallest particles of matter because further research has shown that atoms can be broken down into even smaller subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons. Additionally, Dalton's notion that all atoms of the same element are identical has been revised with the discovery of isotopes, which are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
Are atoms capable of being broken down into smaller particles in a chemical reaction?
Only with fission (see nuclear science).
What cannot be broken down into simpler components?
Time and Mass. All particles can be broken down into smaller particles endlessly.
What is the name of the particles when atoms are broken down?
Quarks
When elements are broken down into smaller particles what are two of the different particles?
When elements are broken down into smaller particles, two of the main particles are protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons carry a positive charge, while neutrons are neutral. Additionally, electrons, which are negatively charged and orbit the nucleus, are also considered fundamental particles of atoms.
Is an atom indestructable?
No. Atoms can be broken down into subatomic particles.
A substance that cannot be broken down into atoms were?
They are subatomic particles.
Can hydrogen be broken down smaller by a chemical change?
No. Chemical changes can only result in rearranging representative particles (atoms, molecules, formula units.) They can't break down atoms any farther than, well, atoms.
Can particles be broken down into simpler elements?
Particles, such as atoms, can be broken down into simpler components known as subatomic particles, which include protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons can further be divided into quarks, which are fundamental constituents of matter. However, electrons are considered elementary particles and cannot be broken down into simpler components. Thus, while some particles can be simplified into smaller parts, others cannot.
Small units of matter are called molecules. When they are broken into smaller units what are they called?
When molecules are broken down into smaller units, they are called atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and cannot be further divided into smaller particles without losing their chemical properties.
Which of Daltons statements about the atom was later proven false?
less than 100 years ago Dalton published his theory that atoms could not be broken down into smaller particles. Scientist have found out that they can in fact be broken down even further.
Atoms are not subdivided during?
Chemical reactions involve the combination, separation, or rearrangement of atoms. During those processes atoms are not subdivided, created, or destroyed.
What are the simplest substances that can't be broken down?
atoms >> I don't think so, because atoms can be broken down into electron shells, a nucleus, electrons, protons, and neutrons. Those are all very basic particles.
