What is the smallest particle of an element that contains all the chemical properties of that element?
An Atom. An atom contains protons , neutrons and electrons. The number of protons in an atom gives it its characteristics. e.g. Hydrogen has ONE proton. Carbon has SIX protons. et seq/.
Is hydrogen the smallest particle of an element?
An average hydrogen atom consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The 1 proton accounts for nearly all of that atom's mass. The 1 electron has only about 1/2000th the mass of the proton. That's about 0.0005 of the total atomic mass.
Which subatomic particle is identified by this number?
Proton numbers equal the atomic number and is an identifier of a chemical element.
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass proton or element?
An "element" is not a subatomic particle. Your question makes no sense and is therefore unanswerable.Another answer:Since an element is not a subatomic particle, the only answer can be a proton.
What is the charge of the particle?
A proton (H+) is the smallest particle with a positive charge.
What is the name of the smallest paricle of an element that has the properties of that element?
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. The atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element. No Sub-Atomic Particles have any characterisitics of an element. It is the collective arrangement of electrons and protons (and usually neutrons) which gives an element its characteristics. An atom is the smallest particle that has elemental characteristics.
Which subatomic particle determines the element's identity?
This particle is the proton.
What subatomic particle is related the atomic number of an element?
protons, no. of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element.
What is the positively charge of particle?
A proton (H+) is the smallest particle with a positive charge.
The smallest particle of which matter consists?
Nutron, Electron or Proton
Which is the smallest particle a molecule an atom a proton a neutron or a quark?
A Quark, is the smallest.
Which element has the smallest number of proton in the atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
