Four: the answer to such questions is always obtainable by summing the subscripts in the formula (remembering that no explicit subscript means one atom per formula unit of the element symbol without a subscript) unless the formula includes parentheses; in that instance, the subscripts within the parentheses must be multiplied by the subscript after the right parenthesis before summing.

Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in?
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in a molecule.
What type of atom is in the element sodium?
A sodium atom, atomic number 11.
What does the number of protons in an element determines?
An element is the type of substance it is, for example, oxygen, hydrogen, etc. An atom is the combined particle consisting of electrons spinning around a nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons. The number of protons in an atom, not element, determines the type of element it is. If the atom looses a proton, then the element changes to a different one.
Do many elements have the same type of atom?
By definition, an element is a substance with only one type of atom. So no, each element has its own type of atom.
Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?
The protons don't change because if the number of protons changes, the type of element the atom is changes. The number of protons determine the species of the atom.
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in?
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in a molecule.
What is in element?
An element is a type of atom; on the periodic table of the elements, they are organized by atomic number (which is the number of protons in the nucleus of this atom).
What number of what structure is responsible for the type of the atom element?
The number of PROTONS in the NUCLEUS is responsible for the type of the atomic element.
What type of atom is in the element sodium?
A sodium atom, atomic number 11.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
What do protons determine about an element?
The protons of an element determine the atomic number, also known as the proton number. Do not confuse this with mass number which is the number of protons and neutrons.
What does the number of protons in an element determines?
An element is the type of substance it is, for example, oxygen, hydrogen, etc. An atom is the combined particle consisting of electrons spinning around a nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons. The number of protons in an atom, not element, determines the type of element it is. If the atom looses a proton, then the element changes to a different one.
What is the atomic number responsible for determining the type of atom?
The atomic number is responsible for determining the element.
What is the same number of possess of atom of one type of element?
protons and electrons
Does element contain one kind of atom?
Not really. The converse... each element contains one type of atom... isn't exactly true either, unless you're careful about what you mean by "type." Elements are composed of one "type" of atom, where by "type" I mean "having a particular number of protons". They can have different numbers of neutrons and still be the same element, but if the number of protons changes, it's a different element.
How many proton does the atom have?
There are 9 protons in the element fluorine.
Do many elements have the same type of atom?
By definition, an element is a substance with only one type of atom. So no, each element has its own type of atom.
