Oil is a chemical compound so it has multiple atoms. You need to know the elements in oil to answer your question.

What part of an atom is visible under the microscope?

A single atom is not visible in a microscope (it is too small to be imaged by photons). What you see in an optical microscope (or in general) is the light reflected, scattered, or emitted by the electron layers of the material under observation.

Can you use a high school microscope to see an atom?

Not unless your highschool has an electron microscope


What is the smallest object that can be seen under an electron microscope?

Down to 1 Angstrom = 0,000 000 000 1 meter. The smallest "object" That can be seen under an electron microscope is most likely the electronAnother opinionThe atom is the smallest!


What tool would a scientist use to see an atom?

A scientist would use a high-powered electron microscope to see an atom. This microscope uses electrons instead of light to visualize objects at the atomic scale. Due to the smaller wavelength of electrons compared to light, the electron microscope can achieve much higher resolution, allowing scientists to observe atomic structures.


How scientists visually look at an atom. What instrument do they use?

with an electron microscope


What machine is used to look at an atom?

Scanning tunneling electron microscope


You can see an atom with?

No device can give the complete structure of an atom but you can get a minute idea about the look of an atom using an Electron Microscope!


What part of an atom is detected by STM?

The electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom is detected by an STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope). This technique measures the tunneling current between the tip of the microscope and the atomic surface, allowing visualization of the electron distribution.


Can atoms be seen using electron microscopes?

An atom can be imaged using an electron beam, since the wavelength of the electron beam is smaller than the atom. This is also the reason it can't be seen using a powerful microscope: the wavelength of light is larger than an atom.


If a fluorine were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become blank charge?

If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.


What does an atom look like when viewed under a microscope?

When viewed under a microscope, an atom appears as a tiny, spherical structure with a dense nucleus at the center, surrounded by even smaller particles called electrons orbiting around it.
