What is larger, an atom or an element? explain

An element is more the “subject”; such as sodium, carbon, iron, etc are elements. An element can be a single gold atom or a whole chuck of pure gold (Au). An atom is the single distinguishing component which makes an element. For example a single carbon (name of the element) atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons

Explanation:

8

explanation:

each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. a set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.

mark brainliest and have a great day!

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates
