To identify the number of subatomic particles in an element?

Count protons. The proton count determines which element you have. Always. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and hydrogen is 1, helium is 2, lithium is 3, and so on. The neutron count can vary and will result in different isotopes of a given element. But the elemental identity of a given atom is based on the number of protons in the nucleus.

∙ 8y agoThe number of protons is equal to the number of the element in the Periodic Table. For example, carbon is element #6; it has 6 protons.The number of neutrons varies within the same element. For example, the most common isotope (element sub-type) of carbon also has 6 neutrons, but there are also carbon isotopes with a different number of neutrons, such as the famous carbon-14 (6 protons, 8 neutrons). The number of neutrons tends to be bigger than the number of protons for larger atoms; for example, U-238, the most common isotope of uranium, has 92 protons, and 146 neutrons.
The number of electrons may vary. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons - but atoms are not always neutral.
The number of quarks is equal to the number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) multiplied by 3, since each proton and each neutron is made up of 3 quarks.

What aspect of an atom's subatomic particles defines which element it is?
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
What is the number of subatomic particles of protons?
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of a chemical element.
What is the subatomic particle and the calculation derived from it that is not found in the periodic table?
Subatomic particles are protons, neutrons and electrons; the number of protons and electrons (in the neutral state) are equal to the atomic number of an element.
What is the number of subatomic particles for oxygen?
24
How do you determine the numbers of subatomic particles in an atom based on its identity?
Atomic number of a chemical element = Number of protons = Number of electrons Atomic mass of an isotope (mass number) - Number of protons = Number of neutrons
How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?
The number of protons determines what is the element.
What aspect of an atom's subatomic particles defines which element it is?
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
What is the number of subatomic particles of protons?
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of a chemical element.
What two subatomic particles are the same in number in any stable element?
Protons and electrons
As you move across the periodic table for left to right each element gains one proton and one?
Electron. In a stable element the number of protons (+ charged subatomic particles) must match the number of electrons (- charged subatomic particles) and neutrons (neutral or uncharged subatomic particles). At least that's how I remember it from my school days.
The atomic number for an element is the total number of subatomic particles?
False; the atomic number is the total number if protons in the nucleus only.
For the element with atomic number 36 how many of each of the three subatomic particles are contained in this element the atomic mass of this element is 83.798amu?
The atomic number is 5becuse it is in the nuclise
What is the subatomic particle and the calculation derived from it that is not found in the periodic table?
Subatomic particles are protons, neutrons and electrons; the number of protons and electrons (in the neutral state) are equal to the atomic number of an element.
How can subatomic particles help identify an element?

What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
What subatomic particles will vary in different isotopes of an element neutrons protons electrons or valence shells?
The number of neutrons is variable.
How many subatomic particles are in a nuclide?
The atom of a chemical element contain protons, neutrons and electrons; the number is specific for each isotope.
