Evidence That Schizophrenia is a Brain Disease. Data from modern scientific research proves that schizophrenia is unequivocally a biological disease of the brain, just like Alzheimer's Disease and Bipolar Disorder. For one thing, schizophrenia is now known to be partially caused by genetics and to be inherited.
One mole of atoms of any element always has the same number of atoms (about 7023602200000000000â 6.022Ã1023). This number was chosen so that if an element has an atomic mass of 1 u, a mole of atoms of that element has a mass close to one gram.
An element is a substance consisting of atoms which all have the same number of protons-i.e. the same atomic number. Elements are chemically the simplest substances and hence cannot be broken down using chemical methods. Elements can only be changed into other elements using nuclear methods. Although an element's atoms must all have the same number of protons, they can have different numbers of neutrons and hence different masses.
