What sub atomic particle determines what the element is?

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.


What subatomic particle determines if an element is an isotope or not?

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.


Identify the subatomic particle used to define an element and explain why this particle is used.?

no i cant answer it


Which particle determines the atomic number of an element?

The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.


If the isotope bismuth-213 emits an alpha particle two protons and two neutrons which element will be left over?

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.


What particle defines an element?

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines the identity of element. The number of protons equals the atomic number.


What does the number of neutrons determine?

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.


What is the average atomic mass of an element is the average atomic masses of what kind of isotopes?

average atomic massof an element=(Atomic mass of first isotope X % of that isotope) + (Atomic mass of second isotope X % of the second isotope)


How do you find the atomic number of an isotope?

The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.


How do you determine the isotope?

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.


What is the number of each subatomic particle for californium?

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


What subatomic particle number determines the identity of an element?

The number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element, determines the identity of an element.
