define an atom. can atom exist independently ?
Answers
Answer:
An atom a fundamental piece of matter. ... An atom itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and the neutrons make up the center of the atom called the nucleus and the electrons fly around above the nucleus in a small cloud.
The atoms of only a few elements called noble gases (Such as helium, neon, argon and kryton, etc.) are chemically unreactive and exist in the free state or independently. Atoms of most of the elements are chemically very reactive and do not exist in the free state or independently.
Explanation:
Atoms are not able to exist independently. All the elements on the far right side of the periodic table (inert or noble gas) atoms can exist independently because they all fulfil the octet rule. They do not need bond to become stable.
I HOPE IT'S HELPFUL:)
Answer:
as we know - atom is the smallest indivisible particles. which can not be further divided into other pieces... and in the centre of the atom nucleus is present. and the electron revolve around the Nucleus in their orbit. proton and neutron are present inside the Nucleus...
only few atoms are independent...
-----but -- but ----
hey mate - scientifically proved atom is not the smallest particle of an element it can be further divided. it can be divided into electron, proton, Neutron,Higgs boson,gaus bosons, and they are quark. quark also divided into up quark and down quark
in up quark - charm quark and top quark.
and in down quark- strange Quark and bottom quark...
but if we go inside that there is no solid component will find. all are in the stage of gas.
