Want this question answered?
number of protons in the atoms tells us to what chemical element atoms belongs. in other words :different number of protons means different element. also protons together with neutrons make most of the atoms weight.
neutral, with the number of protons equaling the number of electrons.
The number of protons. This is given by the atomic number.
other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.
You have a misconception about chemical bonding. Electrons do not form bonds with other electrons. As you will recall from Coulomb's Law, electrons repel other electrons since they all have the same negative charge, and like charges repel, while opposite charges attract. So it is the oppositely charged protons to which electrons are attracted. Since atoms contain both protons and electrons, atoms bond with other atoms because the electrons in one atom can be attracted to the protons in a different atom. And there are various types of bonding between atoms. These include ionic, covalent, and metallic.
The atom that has 6 protons is carbon, and carbon forms lots of chemical bonds with other atoms.

As all other chemical elements atoms of rutherfordium contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
Oxygen atoms contain protons like every other atoms. It has 8 protons in a atom.
neutral, with the number of protons equaling the number of electrons.
Each chemical element has atoms with a specific number of protons, different from the atoms of other elements.

Elements are defined by the number of protons contained in the nucleus of their atoms. The number of electrons (the same as protons in neutral atoms) determine an elements chemical interactios with other elements. The number of neutrons (which can vary) determines an element's mass and relative stability.
No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.
Electrons. Mutually repel elections of other atoms when they get close (as they are then much closer to other electrons than other protons)
