An element, such as gold or silver, is made up of how many different types of atoms? A. 1

B. 2

C. 3

Sorry but I think this question is a bit wrong as an element contains lots of atoms more than 2 atleast, if this is a question from your textbook or test etc, then perhaps C is the better option.

Remember:
1 atom doesn’t make an element, 2 or more different types of atoms make an element but one thing, Golds symbol is AU, hmm I think the answer would be 2 or 3 while AU seems to be an abbreviation of gold (symbol in science) from a Latin word. But I hope this helps, I guesss I was confused above

They both determine the exact age of rocks.
