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.
Atoms of an element usually have the same number of neutrons as protons. Atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same atomic number but different atomic masses. Atoms of an element share that element's chemical and physical properties, such as boiling point, melting point and stability. An element is the simplest form of matter and cannot be broken down further by chemical means.
