Elements are defined by the number of protons contained in the nucleus of their atoms. The number of electrons (the same as protons in neutral atoms) determine an elements chemical interactios with other elements. The number of neutrons (which can vary) determines an element's mass and relative stability.
An element's atomic number, or number of protons, differentiates one element from another.
the number of protons
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom distinguishes it from another atom. This number is known as the atomic number and determines the element to which the atom belongs.
atomic number of an atom is its own characteristic property,ie.the number of protons or electrons in an atom,which distinguishes atoms from one another
Morphology of individual organism identifies and distinguishes one living thing from another.
The number of protons in the atomic nuclei.
INTENT
The particle responsible for determining the identity of an element is the proton. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, known as the atomic number, uniquely identifies the element. For example, hydrogen has one proton, while carbon has six. This atomic number distinguishes one element from another in the periodic table.
properties
protons in the nucleus. This number is known as the atomic number and distinguishes one element from another. Elements are organized on the periodic table based on their atomic number.
Trait is a characteristic that distinguishes one person from another and that causes a person to behave more or less consistently.
it is unique for each element and distinguishes one element from another based on the number of protons in the nucleus. Just like how a fingerprint can identify a specific individual, the atomic number can identify a specific element in the periodic table.
