An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. Atoms are extremely small, typically around 100 picometers across. They are so small that accurately predicting their behaviour using classical physics—as if they were tennis balls.

Does ethers contain oxygen?
By definition, ethers must contain at least one oxygen atom.
Does high value of electron affinity for an atom means that it will gain electron easily?
Yes, that is part of the definition of electron affinity.
What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
What is the word for the definition electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom?
valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level
Is a drawing of an atom a scientific definition?
No, a drawing of an atom is not a scientific definition. A scientific definition of an atom would describe it as the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element.

This is the definition of an "isotope".
Is an atom a element or a compound?
By definition, it will always be an element, never a compound.
What is the atomic definition?
Atomicity is having atoms. Also the number of atoms in a molecule.

What is the simplist atom?
Hydrogen-1. It is a single proton and a single electron.
Does cooper only contain one sort of atom?
if you are talking about 'copper'(which I think you are) than yes, it does. Every element contains only one type of atom in it, that's actually the definition of an atom.
If an atom has 16 protons that atom must be which element?
An atom with 16 protons is the element sulfur (S).
What element contains two large molecules?
By definition, an element is a single atom, not a molecule.
