Why zero group elements are mono atomic?
Atoms of these elements do not combine with other atoms, even atoms of the same element, because their valence electron shells are full.
Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?
No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical means?
A substance that can not be decomposed into simpler substance by a chemical or physical means is a chemical element.
Would you define a substance as a compound or a mixture or an element?
It depends on the substance your are talking about. It could be a compound, mixture, or substance; depending on the substance. If it is an element off the periodic table, it is an element. If it is two elements chemmically combined, it is a compound. If it is two elements that are not chemically combined, it is a mixture.
What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?
The subatomic particle that makes atoms of different elements different from each other is the proton. This is given as the atomic number of the element on the periodic table.
What element makes stable bonds to itself and to atoms of other elements?
Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.
What sets an atom of one element apart from the atoms of all the other elements?
It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
How do atoms define or determine elements?
Each element is different so for a certain element to be define/determined it has different atoms to make it up so no other element has the same atoms
What is the key difference that causes the atoms of one element to differ from the atoms of the other elements?
number of protons
Which of the atoms of nitrogen gas are metals and which non-metals?
Nitrogen is an element. It is not contain atoms of other elements. It has no metallic atoms.
What element other than Carbon has atoms that will react with other elements to form a variety of compounds?
There are very many elements which will do that.
Why zero group elements are mono atomic?
Atoms of these elements do not combine with other atoms, even atoms of the same element, because their valence electron shells are full.
What is a pure substance that cannot be broken into a simpler substance?
Not: atoms The answer is an element
Atoms of an element to combine with other elements is called Physical Activity?
according to my research
What sets an atom of one element apart from atoms of all other element?
It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
what are the 4 points in Dalton's atomic theory?
daltons atomic postulations stated that: * Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are identical. * The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative weights. * Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms. * Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; a chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together.
What tells you how heavy an element's atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?
This is the relative atomic mass, which compares other atoms to the mass of I atom of the isotope carbon-12.
