If you mean the chemical elements, what distinguishes one element from another is the number of protons. For example, hydrogen has 1 proton, helium has 2, etc. The number of neutrons may vary; the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, but only in a neutral atom.

What element is named after Russia?
I don't think there is any element named after Russia.
The simplest form of pure matter?
The most chemically simple form of pure matter is that of a pure element, not chemically bonded in any way.
How many germs are on your hand at any given time?
There are approximately 5,000 germs on your hand at any given time
How many germs are there on a hand at any given time?
At any given time, a human hand may contain as many as 5,000 germs.
Which element has the greatest metallic character?
Metallic character increases as one transitions down and right through the periodic table. By definition, francium (Fr) would be the most metallic, but only extremely small amounts of it exist at any given time, thereby rendering caesium (Cs) as the most metallic element.
Are melting point unique to elements?
Yes, the melting point is an important physical property for any element, compound, material and also is a typical characteristic.
Is reactivity a characteristic property?
Yes, it is a characteristic property for any element or compound.
Which element is not placed into any because of its unique properties?
Hydrogen is the element with unique properties that doesn't fit in any group.
What element is not placed in any group because of its unique properties?
Hydrogen is the element with unique properties that doesn't fit in any group.
Is chemical reactivity a characteristic of property?
Yes, it is a characteristic property for any element or compound.
Which characteristic is necessary to achieve a line spectra for any given element A.Excited gaseous element in a pressurized tube B.Applied high voltage C.Light passed through a prism D.All?
D. All of the above
What is the most notable characteristic of birds which is not found in any other animals?
Feathers - the only outwardly obvious characteristic unique to birds.
Is unique for any given elements?
migration
Does any element have the same atomic number as silicon?
No. Atomic numbers are characteristic of elements. Each element has its own unique atomic number. Only the 24 known isotopes of silicon will have the same atomic number because, only the atomic mass varies. Th element is still the same, i.e., silicon.
Which element is not placed into any group because of its unique properities?
Hydrogen
What is a unique characteristic of Saturn?
spins faster than any other planet exept jupiter
What is an apomorphy?
