    Are Atomic Structures Different In Same Material Items Due To Mass Difference?
    If I have a 10 ton stone and I cut out 1 ton out of the stone.

    Is the atomic structure of the 1 ton stone different than the remainder 9 ton stone.?

    Really depends on the composition, as stone is not elemental in it's nature.

    What do you mean 'stone is not elemental in its nature'. Just curious. Have not come across this statement before.

    Okay.. one more time.. THIS IS FROM THE SAME STONE... so the stones are the same material composition, but what about Atomic Composition.. will it make them different by having different MASS??

    Well "stone" is not an element as it's made up of lots of different stuff and varies hugely.
    So a piece of stone from your yard is different in structure to a piece from mine.

    What do YOU think, assuming it's uniform in nature.

    I think it will have more of everything according to its MASS but that's just a theory of mine.. but it don't mean it is so..

    Now I get it, yes, would be entirely different in composition. Mine is probably deposits from the last ice age, but then again so is yours.

    I was going to apologize for hijacking, but it wasn't really.

    More of everything ? How so when all that has changed is the MASS not the concentration.

    Okay.. one straight answer please.. YES or NO.. If I am using THE SAME STONE.
    It weighs 10 Tons. I cut out a 1 Ton part of the SAME STONE leaving me with only 9 Tons
    On the large stone and 1 Ton on the small part.

    Are the ATOMIC COMPOSITIONS different, even though they are from the same stone?

    Substitute "stone" for "sugar lump" and then try again.

    You need to roll in the attitude here.
    I have given you pointers, see my post above.
    I'm not going to do the work for you.

    Go back to your original question
