How can scientists determine whether the atoms formed are a new element or new isotope of a known element?
This information is obtained by the study of the decay chain of this product.
How can scientists determine whether or not they have created a new element or just an isotope of an element after smashing together particles in a particle accelerator?
essentially that's what a lot of elements are, but what makes an element a new element is if it can be reproduced and be stabilized for an amount of time
What do scientists have to know about the new nucleus to determine whether the newly formed nucleus is that of a new element or that of a new isotope of a known element?
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.

Are isotopes nonmetal metal metalloid?
Metals, metalloids, and nonmetals all have isotopes. It depends on which element as to whether it is a metal, a metalloid, or a nonmetal, not whether it is an isotope.
Statistics are not used by scientists to do what?
Data Scientists can help determine whether or not that difference is significant enough to warrant increased attention.
Which isotope contains the greatest number of protons?
Atomic number is a measure of protons and electrons. extra or less Neutrons are what make an isotope and are not included in atomic number. therefore element with the highest atomic number will also be the isotope with the highest atomic number. on my periodic table it is lawrencium at 103. (note although this might have extra neutrons making it an isotope, it will always have the same atomic number - atomic number isn't what determines an isotope it is mass number) if you meant mass number (which is what determines an isotope), you can subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find out how many neutrons there are and determine whether it is an isotope or not
Can you determine whether the atoms are the same element with out looking at the nuclei?
To a certain extent yes. In a balanced element the number of electrons match the number of protons in the core of the element. If electrons have been added or removed (as in an ion) then you would need to know the exact number added/removed, or rebalance the element, in order to determine the specific element.
Which element should determine whether your tone is formal or casual?
Your audience
What atom has 4 protons and 3 neutrons?
Since it has 3 protons, look up element #3 in the periodic table. That element happens to be lithium. The specific isotope is lithium-7, where 7 is the sum of 3 + 4. Finally, you may want to look up "Lithium" or "Isotopes of lithium" in the Wikipedia (or in some other online reference) to check whether such an isotope actually exists.
How many atoms have scientist identafied?
I suppose you mean "kinds of atoms". The answer depends on whether you mean "element" or "isotope". Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. You may consider it a "sub-type". Elements: More than 100. Isotopes: More than 3000.
What subatomic particle determines whether an atom exists as an isotope?
neutron
