How are individual elements on the periodic table distinguished from each other?

Elements can be distingushed apart by the amount of sub-atomic particles in one atom of that element. Every element has a differemt amount of electrons, so you can count the amount of electrons to identify an element. You can also look at the amount of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every element has a different amount of these, too.

∙ 15y agoyou can distinguish between different elements using flame tests. the different colors which appear after conducting this experiment will determine what the element is composed of

∙ 12y agoif you mean "how can elements be distinguished?" it would be by there density

∙ 14y agoThe amount of protons and electrons in the atom. There's a lot more detail but that's the main thing. And I'm too lazy to type the rest

What is the elements that don't react readily with other elements?
the periodic table
In group 2 on the periodic table are they positive ions when they bond with other elements?
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
Noble gases have less stable electronic configurations then all other elements in the periodic table?
No - they have much more stable configurations than the other elements in the periodic table.
Why do most of the elements on a periodic table like to form bonds with other elements?
To complete their octet
What tells you how heavy an elements atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?
the atomic weights on the periodic table
What is the elements that don't react readily with other elements?
the periodic table
What is CO2 in the periodic table?
CO2 is not on the periodic table. The periodic table of elements, funnily enough houses all the elements. CO2 is a compound made up of other elements and therefore isnt on the table.
In group 2 on the periodic table are they positive ions when they bond with other elements?
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
Where or the periodic table would you find elements that will not react with other elements?
Yes it actully does
Noble gases have less stable electronic configurations then all other elements in the periodic table?
No - they have much more stable configurations than the other elements in the periodic table.
Do the first eighteen elements of the periodic table combine with other elements and each other to form compounds?
Yes.
Are more than three-fourths of the elements in the periodic table non-metals?
No it is the other way around. The majority of elements in the periodic table are metals.
What group in the periodic table of elements is gallium in?
Gallium is in group 13 of the periodic table. The other elements in this group are Boron, Aluminum, Indium, and Thallium.
Why do most of the elements on a periodic table like to form bonds with other elements?
To complete their octet
How are elements defined on the periodic table?
the answer to your question has finally come!! the elements of the Periodic Table are mostly some of the items we have used for centuries at a time. for the other that are not, i cannot answer for you.
Is H2 an element or compound?
H2 is an element as it does not include any other elements from the Periodic Table.
What tells you how heavy elements atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?
the atomic weights on the Periodic Table
