Chapter 17, Problem 11A
Distinguish between an atom and a molecule.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Distinguish: Between an atom and a molecule.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An atom is building block of matter. Atoms can combine to form molecules.
Atom consist of proton, electron and neutron. Molecule is smallest particle of substance that consist of two or more atoms of same element or different element. Molecule is formed by two or more atoms by sharing or transfer of electrons.
Conclusion:
Smallest unit of matter in the universe is an atom. Molecules are made of atoms.
