∙ 8y agoIn the neutral atom, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons, but atoms can borrow or loan electrons and become ions. Additionally, the number of neutrons an atom of a given element can have can vary. We call these different variations in structure isotopes of that element. The only common thread in the atomic structure of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. All the atoms of a given element will have the same number of protons. Always.

What unusual property do carbon atoms have that other elements do not have?
Carbon atoms have the unusual property of being able to bond with each other to form very long chains. Hope this helps!
What color is nobelium?
This property was not determined with only some thousand atoms available.
What property of oxygen makes it share electrons unequally with hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen atoms have a greater electronegativity than hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.
Is it a chemical reaction or a chemical property when atoms break and form a new bonds?
Yes.
How are atoms arranged in materials?
atoms are arranged in various manner according to the type of materials being discussed. eg in gaseous materials , the atoms are free and move around, in case of the hard substances ,the atoms are closely packed . this determines the physical property of the substance's.
Is elctric charge a property of just electricity or is charge property of all atoms?
Electric charge is a property of some subatomic particles. Atoms can be neutral (zero electric charge), or they can have a charge. If they have a charge, they are called ions.
Name the property that liquids and solids share?
It is atoms
A Description of how the atoms of a substance react with atoms of others substances is a?
chemical property
Can all gases be compressed?
Yes, all gasses can be compressed. The very property of being a gas means that there are spaces between the individual atoms/molecules.
Did malleable study atoms?
Malleability is a property of atoms, especially metals, where they can be beateninto thin sheets.
Did ductile study atoms?
Ductility is a property of atoms, especially metals, where they can be drawn into thin wires.
If atoms of chlorine and fluorine easily take on one additional electron Predict which other kinds of atoms will also have this chemical property?
Predict if atoms of chlorine and fluorine easily take on 1 additional electron, which other kinds of atoms will also have this chemical property
Which atom has a similar chemical property as cadmium atoms?
zinc
Which property of nitrogen atoms makes it possible for nitrogen to occupy spaces in the crystal structures?
Nitrogen atoms are similar in shape and size to Carbon atoms
What unusual property do carbon atoms have that other elements do not have?
Carbon atoms have the unusual property of being able to bond with each other to form very long chains. Hope this helps!
The property of an element that indicates the number of protons in its atoms?
Atomic Number
What are All the Atoms in argon?
Argon is an element and all the atoms in argon are argon atoms.
