Neither, it is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus (which is also called the atomic number on the Periodic Table).
What else can I help you with?
What is an isotope and how is it determined?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They are determined based on their atomic mass, which is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes of an element have similar chemical properties but may have different physical properties, such as radioactive decay rates.
What is the number of atoms in an element?
The number of atoms in an element depends on WHAT element AND how much of that element.
How do atoms define or determine elements?
Each element is different so for a certain element to be define/determined it has different atoms to make it up so no other element has the same atoms
What is an element is determined by the number of?
The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. This is the atomic number of an element.
An element is determined by the number of?
An element can be identified by the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms.
Can Physical properties of an element can be determined without chemically changing the element?
yes its called looking at the atoms
What is the smallest particle of an element that maintains the characteristics of the element?
The smallest particle of an element that maintains the characteristics of the element is an atom. Each element is composed of unique atoms with specific properties determined by its atomic structure.
What is the atomic weight used for?
You can use atomic weight to calculate the number of atoms in a given sample of an element. # g of sample element x (6.02 x 1023 / atomic weight in grams) = # of atoms
How many atoms are in the element copper and in the element carbon and in the element aluminum and how many atoms are in baking soda and how many atoms are in a sugar cube?
There are no "atoms in an element," but rather atoms OF an element. If you are trying to find the number of atoms in a sample of a pure element you divide its weight by its molar mass and then multiply by 6.022 x 10^23 to get the answer in atoms. The answer options are 2,3, or 4.
What is the element that has a mass of 55 and contains 30 neutrons in its atoms?
The element with a mass of 55 and 30 neutrons in its atoms is zinc (Zn). This can be determined by subtracting the number of neutrons from the atomic mass of the element.
What is the most abundunt element found in the human body?
By weight or by number of atoms? By number of atoms
Is an element a combination of atoms?
No. An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom.
