No, solid and liquid iron have different volume, so the atoms are different.

Question 16

Copper can exist as a solid or a liquid. Is solid copper an element, and is liquid copper a compound?

Accepted Answer

No. Copper is an element whether it's liquid or solid.

Answer

No. Liquid copper is a element and solid copper is a compount.

Answer

No. It's impossible to determine.

Answer

Yes. Solid copper an element, and is liquid copper a compound.

Question 17

Do the atoms in an element have different sizes and shapes?

Accepted Answer

No. The atoms in an element are all the same atoms.

Answer

Yes. When a new substance is forms, it is called a chemical change.

Answer

No. Mixtures are not a new substance. The substances in the mixture can often be easily identified and separated.

Answer

Yes. If all the atoms are the same, then all the properties will be the same.

Question 18

Can the atoms of an element be seen with a magnifying glass?

Accepted Answer

No, the atoms of an element cannot be seen with a magnifying glass.

Answer

No. If their mass and volume are different, they can't be seen.

Answer

Yes, some atoms can be seen without a magnifying glass.

Answer

Yes. If all the atoms are the same, then all the properties will be the same.

Question 19

Do the atoms of an element have mass and volume?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All atoms have mass and volume.

Answer

No, the atoms in an element are various shapes and siz

Answer

No. There's no way to tell what an atom looks like because they are too small for even the most powerful microscopes.

Answer

Yes. This is because atoms with a certain volume always have the same mass.
