lol my science teacher gave me this worksheet that had this exact same question. I dont really know. Check the amount of protons, neutrons, and protons. Make sure the "element" cannot be broken down any further.
because they are mad
Protons determine which element an atom is.
neon
neon

Oxidation numbers do not determine if an element is a metal or a nonmetal. The classification of an element as a metal or a nonmetal is based on its position in the periodic table and its physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table, while nonmetals are found on the right side.
essentially that's what a lot of elements are, but what makes an element a new element is if it can be reproduced and be stabilized for an amount of time
To determine the molar mass of an element, you must know the atomic mass of the element, which is found on the periodic table and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This value represents the average mass of all the isotopes of that element.
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.
To determine the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number). Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
To determine the oxidation number of an element, you need to follow specific rules based on the element's location on the periodic table and its chemical bonds in a compound. The oxidation number is the charge an atom would have if the compound was ionic. It can be found by considering the number of electrons gained or lost by the element in a compound.
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.
