What is the difference between an atom and a molecule?

  1. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains all of its chemical properties, while a molecule is a group of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds.

  2. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can exist independently, while a molecule is a group of atoms that are held together by physical bonds.

  3. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can participate in a chemical reaction, while a molecule is a group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds.

  4. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can be seen with a microscope, while a molecule is a group of atoms that are held together by ionic bonds.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains all of its chemical properties. A molecule is a group of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. Molecules can be formed from atoms of the same element or from atoms of different elements.

What is the law of conservation of mass?

  1. Mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

  2. Mass can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

  3. Mass can be created but not destroyed in a chemical reaction.

  4. Mass can be destroyed but not created in a chemical reaction.


Correct Option: A
