Neon
It would be the 10th element in the periodic table, Neon.
The number of protons in the nucleus determines the identity of the element.
Carbon is the element which has 6 protons in the nucleus.
An atom with six protons in the nucleus is a carbon element.
The number of protons in the nucleus identifies the element. It is like a fingerprint for that element. No other element will have that same number of protons. As soon as the number of protons in the nucleus changes, so does the identity of the element change.
No
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is equal to the atomic number of an element.
An element can be identified by the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms.
The number of protons in a nucleus depends on which element it is. ( The number of protons is the decider as to which element it is. ) The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, but none of the electrons are in the nucleus. Rather, they orbit around the nucleus like planets round a star.
Yes. This is called an element's atomic number, and it is the key identifier for this element.
The number of protons is the same as the atomic number of the element. for example if your element is magnesium with the atomic number 12 there would be 12 protons in the nucleus.
the number of protons in the nucleus of an element.
