Atoms are considered the smallest particles of an element because they are the basic unit. They cannot be broken down into any smaller substance.

They are considered the smallest part of an element because when you break down an element into smaller and smaller parts, theoretically when you reach thed smallest part and you cant break it any more, it will be one atom of whatever element you are breaking down.

Why does increasing the temperature make a solid dissolve faster?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The chemical bonds of the solid are broken faster.

Explanation:

As the temperature of a solution is increased, the average kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the solution also increases. The increased vibration (kinetic energy) of the solute molecules causes them to be less able to hold together, and thus they dissolve more readily.

Monel metal is a corrosion-resistant copper-nickel alloy used in the electronics industry. A particular alloy with a density of
klemol [59]
<span>To find the volume of the plate without accounting for the hole firstly
V = (15.0 cm)(12.5 cm)(0.250 cm) = 46.875 cm^3
and the volume of the hole is
(pi)(1.25 cm)^2(0.250 cm) = 1.2272 cm^3
we will subtract the volume of the hole from the rest 45.648 cm^3
the multiply this by the density of the alloy to find the mass
(8.80 g/cm^3)(45.648 cm^3) = 401.701 g.
0.044% of this is Si, so (0.00044)(401.701 g) = 0.17675 g is silicon.
by the number of atoms and using average atomic mass of silicon and Avogadro's number to find the number of silicon atoms:
(0.17675 g)(1 mol/28.0855 g)(6.022E23 atoms/1 mol) =3.794E21atoms of Si
3.10% of these are Si-30:(0.0310)(3.794E18 atoms)=1.176E20 atoms of Si-30 and with two significant figures, 1.2E20 atoms.
hope this helps

How does atomic hydrogen torch function for cutting and welding purposes​
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

atomic hydrogen torch utilizes an electric arc whereby two closely - but not touching electrodes - result in the release of powerful electric spark as the current tries to flow through the gap. The gap is filled with hydrogen gas in an atomic hydrogen torch rather than air. The electric arch is split the hydrogen gas molecules into hydrogen atoms (some in plasma form). When the hydrogen atoms land on cooler objects like the metal being welded or cut, they region back to H₂ molecules releasing enormous amounts of heat on the surface. Surface temperatures can reach   4000 °C. The use of hydrogen gas protects the metal being welded from oxidation. Oxidation may compromise the quality of the weld.
