The atomic number is 5becuse it is in the nuclise
The simplest form of an element is an atom. Subatomic particles are not a form of the element; they are a "building block" of an element.
element
The number of protons determines what is the element.
the proton
The protons and neutrons.
Iron is an element..it is made up of subatomic particles.
neon
An atom and an element are synonyms. Rather, subatomic particles make up atoms (and elements). The three types of subatomic particles are neutrons, protons, and electrons.
Subatomic particles are the same for all substances that exist everwhere. So to ask "What are the subatomic particles of manganese?" is really not a good question. Manganese is an element. And like all elements, it is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of.......subatomic particles! (Moledule)(Cation)(Ion)===>Element====>Atom====>Subatomic particle The are three basic subatomic particles: protons, electrons and neutrons. If you really want to get anal about it, you can also find out what neutrons are made up of. I would tell you, but I forgot!
Electrons are the subatomic particles ouside the nucleus of the atom.
Electron. In a stable element the number of protons (+ charged subatomic particles) must match the number of electrons (- charged subatomic particles) and neutrons (neutral or uncharged subatomic particles). At least that's how I remember it from my school days.
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
