Question 21 • Physical Science

What is true about all of these atoms?

Answer
A
They cannot be solids.
B
They are the only types of atoms that exist.
C
They cannot be divided and still keep the properties of the element.
D
They are the largest units of matter.

Explanation

An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains that element’s chemical properties. If an atom is divided into smaller particles, those particles are no longer atoms of that element and do not retain its properties. Atoms can be part of solids, and they are not the largest units of matter or the only types of atoms that exist.
