A particle is defined as a small potion of matter. From its definition, then a single atom can be considered as an atom. This is because an atom is the smallest unit of matter. Also, a molecule can be considered as a particles since it is a small portion of a certain object.

A particle can be a single atom and can also be a molecule.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Matter  </h3>
  • Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space. Matter exists in three states, liquid, gases and solids.
  • Matter is made up of small particles that are in continuous random movement.
<h3>Particles  </h3>
  • A particle refers to a single atom or a group of atoms that are bonded together and functions as a single unit.  
  • Therefore, matter is made up of particles which can either be single atoms or chemically bonded atoms to make a molecule. Hence, a molecule is also a particle of matter.
<h3>An atom  </h3>
  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • Atoms are made up of sub-atomic particles which include; protons, neutrons and electrons. When two or more atoms are bonded together they form a molecule.
<h3>Molecule  </h3>
  • A molecule is the smallest particle of an element or a compound that has similar properties of that particular compound or element.
  • Molecules could be made up of atoms that are similar such as oxygen molecule or atoms that different from different elements, such as water molecule.
  • The bonding of atoms to form molecules occurs as a result of sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms.  

Keywords: Matter, particles, atoms, molecules, elements, compounds

Write the balanced equation for the reaction of aqueous Pb(ClO3)2 with aqueous NaI.
Kaylis [27]
If it is just a simple double-replacement reaction, then the balanced equation is simply:

Pb(ClO3)2(aq) + 2 NaI(aq) = PbI2 + 2 Na(ClO3)

However, if this is a precipitation reaction, we must identify which compound will precipitate (is insoluble), either NaClO3 or PbI2

NaClO3 is soluble, PbI2 is not. Only the lead cations and iodine anions will participate in the reaction.

thus, the balanced equation is: Pb^(2+)  +  2I^(-)  ==>  PbI2

Amines suitable for preparing buffers are often synthesized by treating ammonia with epoxides. Consider the following series of
Lerok [7]

It is correct to state that Amines are suitable for preparing buffers are often synthesized by treating ammonia with epoxides. The relative structures of compound B are attached accordingly.

<h3>What is an Amine?</h3>

Amine is a family of basic chemical compounds formed by replacing hydrogen with one or more monovalent hydrocarbon radicals.

Apart from medications and pharmaceuticals, amines are employed in the production of azo-dyes and nylon.

They are commonly employed in the development of crop protection, pharmaceutical, and water purification chemicals. They are also used in personal care products.

Ethanol amines are the most widely utilized form of amine on the global market.

It should be noted that ammonia attacks epoxides at the least substituted carbon to produce (A.)

The generated product is then made to react with another epoxide, resulting in the synthesis of successive products.

Answer : The correct option is, cobalt.

Explanation :

Magnet : It is defined as a type of material which produces the magnetic field. Or we can say that a material that has the property of attracting an iron piece and producing the magnetic field.

The elements iron, cobalt and nickel are usually used in the making of magnets.

Hence, the element used to make magnets is, Cobalt.
