Question

Distinguish between atoms amd molecules

Answer 1

Answer:

Properties of Atoms :-

• An atom can be defined as the smallest constituent particle of an element which showcases independent existence.

• An atom may not always be stable in nature due to the presence of electrons in the outer shells.

• Atoms are neither visible through naked eyes, nor magnifying microscope.

• Atoms are Highly reactive.

• Atoms are Nuclear bond.

• Example: Ne, O

Properties of Molecules :-

• A molecule can be defined as the combinations of two or more atoms which are held together by chemical bonds. A molecule is the smallest portion of a substance which showcases all the properties of the substance. On breaking down a molecule further, we see properties of the constituent elements.

• Molecules are formed to attain stability.

• Molecules are not visible through naked eyes, but can be seen with the help of magnifying microscope.

• Molecules are Comparatively less reactive.

• Molecules are Covalent bond.

• Example: O2, HCl
