Atoms and elements differ in a multitude of ways but share many similarities. Atoms are the small unit that make up the periodic table. Elements are pure substances of which are made up of atoms. Atoms can be found in compounds which could produce another type of element. Atoms also can group up and form molecules. Elements require atoms as they both need each other to be in existence.

Atoms are the building blocks that make up an element. Your elements are located on your periodic table, and each of them are made up of atoms. An atom is made up protons neutrons and electrons. Its like if you had a golden brick and you cut it and cut it until it is in its smallest form, when it is in its smallest form, it is called a golden atom. The atom of an element is the element in its smallest form. Elements can be handled by someone anywhere, any time; however a atom cannot, because of its small size. In the end all atoms make up an element.

The main difference between atoms and elements is quantity. An atom is one single object where as an element could be one single atom or many atoms combined. Also single atoms cannot be handled by hand but elements can. In elements all the atoms have to be the same but elements can combine to form compounds. When these compounds are made they form molecules which are a combination of atoms. Molecules can be separated into individual atoms. Atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds each have different properties; however,all are very useful in our lives because atoms make-up everything around us.

The differences of atoms and elements; An element is a basic substance that cannot be simplified, example- hydrogen, oxygen. An atom is the smallest amount of an element. Therefore, atoms are the elements chemical makeup. Atoms are made up of protons, electrons and neutrons, these are what determines atoms physical and chemical properties. Element is different types of atoms, different elements have different numbered protons. A molecule is when two or more atoms are joined together, these are created by chemical bonds.

Atoms are merely pieces of an element; the two differ in matter. An element’s matter is bigger than that of an atom because it is formed of many atoms. Atoms cannot be separated; however, molecules can be because they are made up of two or more different atoms. For example, water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Compounds may also be divided, for they are made up of two different elements. The properties amongst atoms and molecules vary, and the same for elements and compounds. Humans breathe in the product when oxygen combines with oxygen to form O2. Although when another oxygen atom is added the product becomes O3 or Ozone.

The main difference between atoms and elements is simple. An element is composed of atoms therefore they are similar. Their differences however are pretty noticeable. For example an element is a substance formed from atoms. An elements “building block” would be atoms, just like molecules make up atoms. A particular element is only composed of one type of atom. Neutrons and electrons have different forms of matter used to differentiate an atoms properties. Elements is the simplest form, unless it is broken down into smaller particles. The next smallest would be an atom. Atoms and elements are two different things that are very different but actually are a part of each other.

Atoms and elements are the components which make up the known universe; the difference between these objects can be evinced through their structure and size. An atom is the basic unit in which all matter is formed. With in an atom are minuscule particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons; however, an element is made up of one or more of the same type of atom. For example, Neon is an element and the smallest particle with in neon would be a neon atom. If an individual was to compare the size of an atom to an element they would discover that the two items could be the same size or that the element will always be larger. Atoms can never be seen with the human eye where as an element could. Also if one was to order the items based on size from smallest to largest it would be as follows, atom, molecule, element, and then compound. A molecule is two or more atoms and a compound is two or more elements.

Elements and atoms can be different in many ways, but they are also similar in many ways as well. Elements are the simplest form of substances; however they are still made up of smaller particles such as atoms. Elements cannot be split or broken down into simpler substances because they are considered to be pure substances. An atom is the simplest unit of matter and is considered to be the smallest amount of an element. Atoms also combine to form molecules; when all the atoms that are combined are alike, they form a specific element. The way that elements came about was by the periodic table being introduced because it described the different types of atoms. Even though atoms and elements are different, atoms still make up elements.

As we all know substances are made up of elements and atoms which vary with one another. Atoms are the smallest units of an element that cannot be broken down but that are made up of smaller particles. These particles have negative and positive charges from ions that help two atoms alike bind together to become a molecule. This in turn helps the molecules combine with other molecules of other elements to make up a compound such as oxygen or gold. Also the properties of atoms, molecules, elements and compounds differ from one another along with the matter of these.

Atoms and elements are components that compose virtually everything, their difference—quantity and physical size. Elements are the basic, most simplistic form of matter possible. If a scientist were to break down the element, he would only find atoms of that nature. For example, the element hydrogen is compiled of many small hydrogen atoms. While atoms make up elements, molecules are made of many diverse atoms. Likewise, a compound is created by the joining of two or more elements. Logically, the size of atoms and elements differ as well; atoms being the smallest.

Elements are the simplest form of substances, they are still made up of smaller particles, an element is made up of one kind of atom and at the begging of matter sarts with atoms. When atoms combine together and they form molecules.A chemical compound is a chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemically bonded elements.Water is the most common example of a compound. A water molecule is made up of three atoms in total out of which two are hydrogen and one is oxygen.

In this paragraph, atoms, elements and their relationship to each other will be explained. The atom is defined as a basic unit of matter that consists of a central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. The atomic nucleus contains a mix of protons and neutrons. The electrons of an atom are bound to the nucleus by electromagnetic force. A chemical element is defined as a pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number. Any material that is composed of only one type of atom is called a chemical element, a basic element, or just an element. So basically, one atom makes up an element.

Atoms and elements are different but they also have similarities. An element is a substance that is made up of a compound of one or more atoms. An element is a substance that cannot be broken down or simplified and keep the same consistancy. Inside an element is atoms which are made up of positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons, and neutrons whoch have no charge at all. Atoms and elements make up anything and everything whether it is a gas, liquid, or solid. Atoms and elements are small but are a very important part of life, science, and everything, because if it wasn't for those two things, the things we need and use every day wouldn't exist.

Atoms and elements are different in many ways, but they do have some of the same aspects. An atom is the basic building block for matter. Atoms join together to make most of the objects in the world. Atoms are made up of many different particles called protons, electrons and neutrons. An element is a substance made from entirely one atom. In elements all atoms have to be the same, but elements can combine to form compounds. After these compounds are made they form molecules, which are a combination of atoms. For example, helium is one of the many elements known to man. Some elements have been known for thousands of years like gold, but other elements have only been known for a few years like darmstadtium. All the elements known to man are arranged on the Periodic Table of Elements.

The main difference between elements and atoms is that atoms make up elements. The term "element" didnt even come about until the periodic table was created. Elements are the simplest form of substances, and are also considered to be pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances. But elements are made up of even smaller particles called atoms which are the smallest part of the element and they are composed of nuetrons, protons, and electrons. Elements and atoms are two different things, but they work together to make up all the differnt forms of matter and atoms make up everything around us.

Atoms and elements are different in several ways. An atom is the smallest form of matter and an element is made of just one type of atom. Each element is recorded on the Periodic Table of Elements. Different amounts of protons equal different atoms and different elements. Atoms can join together to make compounds or if they are the same more of an element. You can handle elements anywhere but atoms are just too small. So basically a certain atom is what makes up an element and all other matter.

The word “element” has been used to described atoms; elements are composed of one type of atom, which is the smallest part of an element. In chemistry, an element is a material that cannot be changed into another type of material. Molecules are made up of two or more atoms whereas a compound is a molecule that contains more than one element. Elements can be found on the periodic table; the simplest of these elements is hydrogen. Atoms are made out of three different particles: protons, neurons, and electons.

One already knows that an element is a name for a specific substance. For example, Aluminum is an element, as is gold and iron. An atom is the smallest piece of that substance while still retaining all of its chemical and physical properties. The number of electrons, neutrons, and protons for the element ‘Gold’ is known and is factual. A single atom exhibits all of the chemical properties of the substance we call 'gold.' Any further subdivision of a gold atom will result in pieces which do not exhibit the properties of gold.

The difference between atoms and atoms is what. An atom is considered to be the smallest amount of an element. It is the simplest unit of matter, and has a closely packed nucleus in its center. Surrounding the nucleus is a cloud of electrons. A mix of electrically neutral neutrons and positively-charged protons converge. An element is considered the simplest form of substances, and is also considered to be pure substances that cannot be split or broken into simpler substances. However elements are still made up of smaller particles which can be molecules, ions, or atoms. An element is made up of one kind of atom. So, an atom is the smallest amount of an element.

Atoms are what make up elements on the periodic table. There are atoms in elements. Atoms are the smallest piece of substance which makes up the atom. Another main difference is the quanity. An atom is an individual. It is one single thing. Where as a element is made up of many atoms. Making the quanity of elemant more than that of an atom. As I have mentioned elements are made up of atoms but atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. While these two are so different they come together to make up everything we have.

The main difference between atoms and elements associates with the form, the amount, and the conciseness. Elements are stated to be the most simple form of a substance, while at the same time remaining pure. This mandates elements to be at the most simplest state where they can not be broken or split into simpler products. Atoms can however be broken into smaller particles; an atom is the smallest of these particles. An atom is the smallest amount of an element, therefore it is the simplest unit of matter existing in our world. Conciseness is the final differentiation between an element and an atom. Conciseness thoroughly relates the remarkable difference of the amount of matter in an element to the smallest amount of matter contained in an atom.

Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. Elements are substances that are made up of these atoms. An element is mass, matter or a substance made up of atoms and molecules. Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons which make up an element. It is believed that atoms are made up of 200 or more subatomic particles.

In science, there is a significant difference between an atom and an element. An element is simply a basic substance that cannot be simplified, and compounds can be made out of more than one element chemically put together. An atom, on the other hand, is the smallest possible part of an element, and two or more atoms chemically joined together make up a molecule. The difference between the two stages of matter is most definitely evident. Atoms simply make up elements.

People consider atoms and elements are just some science terms that you do not really need to know, but their are significant differences between both. An element is a pure substance created by a multitude of atoms. An atom is the smallest part of the element. It takes a plethora of atoms to form a molecule,which then creates an element.

Matter is everything around us. Anything that is made up atoms and molecules are matter. Atoms are defined as a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense, central nucleas surrounded by negatively charge electrons. Elements can be described as a pure chemical substance consisting of one type atom, set apart from each other with an atomic number. Atoms and elements differ from each other, but they also share some similarites. Elements are the simplest form of a substance; however, they are made up smaller substances. Such as atoms, ions, or molecules. For example, say you are at an ice cream store. The store has a choice of 15 different ice creams. The flavors are elements. Lets say you get one scoop of a certain type ice cream. This is an example of an atom. If you decided to mix and get two scoops, vanilla and chocalate, you would have a molecule.
