Chemical element same atomic number, or number of protons. Nuclear scientists, however, define a pure element as one that consists of only one stable isotope. For example, a copper wire is 99.99% chemically pure if 99.99% of its atoms are copper, with 29 protons each. However it is not isotopically pure since ordinary copper consists of two stable isotopes, 69% Cu and 31% Cu, with different numbers of neutrons. However, a pure gold ingot would be both chemically and isotopically pure, since ordinary gold consists only of one isotope, Au. Atoms of chemically pure elements may bond to each other chemically in
CU Online CU Online CU Online is one of the first fully accredited online education programs, created in 1996 by the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver). With CU Online, the pedagogy of CU Denver faculty has been extended globally, allowing local students as well as international students to partake in the same education. Initially launching with three online courses, CU Online has expanded its catalog to over 450 CU Denver online courses, with 18 full CU Denver degree programs and 12 certificates that can be completed entirely online.
