What else can I help you with?
What is the same number of possess of atom of one type of element?
protons and electrons
Is the smallest particle of an element is called an atom?
Actually elements are made of one type of atom. In an atom, there are three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Then, there are many more particles making up the protons, neutrons and electrons. These are the quarks. They are so far the smallest part of an element. :)

Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?
The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.
What type of bond can be formed with an element of 17 protons and 17 protons?
A covalent bond; chlorine is found as Cl2.
All atoms of a given element have exactly the same number of which type of subatomic particle?
Protons. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.
Is elements made up of one or more matter?
An element is a type of atom. It is made up of varying numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons, but not technically "different matter."
Is the element is the smallest particle?
An element is a substance that is composed of atoms that are all of one type. Every atom, in turn, consists of at least two types of particles, protons and electrons. All of the atoms in a sample of an element have the same number of protons in them. It's a lot more complicated than this but this is a good start.
In the atom what type of particle determines the element that atoms represent?
proton you can change the number of neutrons and electrons and still have the same element
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
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 and element?
an atom is the basic unit of life. it is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. an element is composed of a single type of atom (for example: pure gold is made up of atoms containing exactly 79 protons and 79 electrons...the number of neutrons varies depending on if the atoms are isotopes)
