Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2A
To determine
The element which has the lightest atoms.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The building blocks of matter are atoms. A material composed of only one kind of atoms is known as element.
There are 118 elements known still date. Hydrogen has atomic number 1. It has only one proton. So, it is lightest element of atoms.
Conclusion:
Hydrogen is element of lightest atoms.
