Atomic Quizzes & Trivia

At the smallest level of everything is an atom. This atomic particle of matter is the smallest unit of a chemical element. So if atoms are so small, how are they measured? The standard atomic measurement is in picometers (trillionths of a meter). That’s really small!

Do you know what atoms are made of? Getting down to basics, atoms are mainly composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. However, did you know that protons are the real star of an atom? The number of protons determines whether the atom is carbon, copper, or any number of elements. The world of atoms, elements, and chemistry come together in amazingly complex way to create life as we know it. Test your chemistry knowledge by taking one of our online quizzes!

Atomic Questions & Answers

What is the difference between Nuclear and Atomic Bomb?

Nuclear weapons are dangerous weapons, created to release energy from a nuclear reaction. These reactions can be generally categorized to fission reactions and fusion reactions. In nuclear, either fission reactions or mergers of fission and fusion re

What is the difference between AFM and STM?

AFM simply stands for Atomic Force Microscope, while STM stands for Scanning Tunneling Microscope. The AFM captures images precisely by moving a manometer tip across the image surface. The STM, in contrast, captures images by making use of quantum tu

What is a subatomic particle with no charge called?

Option C - Neutron Neutron is a subatomic particle that does not have an electric charge. Proton is a subatomic particle with a positive electric charge. Electron is a subatomic particle with a negative electric charge.

What is the difference between an Atomic Bomb and a Hydrogen Bomb?

Atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb are usually considered as weapons of mass destruction, but one of the differences between the two is their strength and the havoc they are capable of wrecking when they are used. Although, similar radioactive substances
