Does the number of molecules determine what type of element it is?

The element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus. Since molecules are made up of elements, the number of molecules has nothing to do with determining the element.

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 type of number after a chemical symbol tells how many atoms of that element are in a single molecules?
That would be subscript.

What type of properties do valence elcectrons determine for an element?
Valence electrons determine the reactivity of the element.
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.
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 differences between subscripts and coefficients?
A coefficient is the number that goes before an element when your balancing the equation. And a subscript is the number after the element. Subscripts are not changed when you balance the equation.
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 does the marker molecules on red blood cells determine a persons?
Blood type
What substance is a mixture of molecules?
The Type of substance of a molecule would be an element.
Are Elements types of molecules?
No, an element is a substance that contains only one type of molecule.
