The number of neutrons.
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines what element it is. Each element has a unique number of protons, known as its atomic number.
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.
no i cant answer it
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
Lead-209 will be left over after the isotope bismuth-213 undergoes alpha decay, as the emission of an alpha particle causes the atomic number of the element to decrease by 2. Bismuth-213 has an atomic number of 83, so after the emission of an alpha particle (which has an atomic number of 2), the resulting element will have an atomic number of 81, which corresponds to lead.
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines the identity of element. The number of protons equals the atomic number.
The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons. This affects the stability and nuclear properties of the atom.
average atomic massof an element=(Atomic mass of first isotope X % of that isotope) + (Atomic mass of second isotope X % of the second isotope)
The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.
Isotopes are determined by the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Each isotope of an element has the same number of protons in its nucleus but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
Californium has 98 protons and electrons. 98 is the atomic number of californium. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element
The number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element, determines the identity of an element.
