Experimentally, I'm not sure, but I know you can look at your periodic chart, the large number over the symbol of each element is teh number of protons in that element.

Do electrons determine what kind of element an atom is?
The number of protons determine the element. It is equal to the atomic number. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons only of the atom is neutral.
Determine the number of protons?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number and the number of electrons (for a neutral atom).
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 atomic number tells you about the element?
It tells you (1) how many protons are in the element, and (2) what the element is since all atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.It's D. The number of protons in its atoms.It tells how many protons/electrons that element has.
How many protons are in the element germanium?
Germanium has 32 protons.
Why must you know both how many protons and how many neutrons an element has in order to fully identify it?
The number of protons determine what element it is, the number of neutrons determine what isotope it is.
How many protons does have calcium?
Calcium has 20 Protons. You can determine the amount of Protons in an Element by checking the top number of an element. This is called the Atomic number. Calcium has 20 protons
What do the protons do?
The number of protons determine the atomic number of an element. There are the same amount of protons as electrons in a regular element.
Which particles are in the nuleus of an atom?
Inside of an atom there are protons and neutrons. The protons determine the element whereas the neutron can determine if it is an isotope of that element. Of course there are many smaller particles inside of protons and neutrons like quarks and gluons and ... strings.
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 do the protons determinate?
The number of protons determine the atomic number of an element. There are the same amount of protons as electrons in a regular element.
What is the identity of an element determine by?
The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons.
Is the element determine by the number of protons?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Do electrons determine what kind of element an atom is?
The number of protons determine the element. It is equal to the atomic number. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons only of the atom is neutral.
Which component of the atom can change its identity to a new element?
Protons determine which element an atom is.
What do the protons of the nucleus of an atom determine?
Number of protons or the atomic number of an atom determines what is the element.
All atoms of the same element have the same numder of?
Protons. Protons determine the atomic number which in turn determine what the element is, so if the number of protons is changed the element is changed. Isotopes have a different number of neutrons and Ions have a different number of electrons than the original atom.
