Does every atom of an element show properties of its element?
Yes, that is a characteristic of an atom.
Which number associated with an atom is a characteristic property?
Atomic number is a characteristic property of an atom. Each element has its own unique atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
What does atomic number of an element of a neutral atom gives?
proton
What an atom maybe if it has a different number of protons and electrons?
The number of protons is a specific characteristic of an atom; if the number of protons is other the element is other.
What does the expression mean atomic number?
"Atomic number" is a characteristic of a chemical element and equals the number of protons in each nucleus of an atom of the element.
How are atoms of one element differs from those of other element?
atomic number of an atom is its own characteristic property,ie.the number of protons or electrons in an atom,which distinguishes atoms from one another
What is the characteristic of a nuclcleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom consist of protons and almost always also neutrons. Which gives the nucleus a positive charge.
What is the smallest amount of an element that still retains the characteristic of that element?
The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.
What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
What is the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom?
The number of protons determines the element's atomic number. When combined with the number of neutrons, it determines the element's atomic mass.
How many elements are made of single atom?
All elements are made up of a single atom. This is the defining characteristic that makes it an element as opposed to a compound.
What information does an atom mass give you?
You will be able to tell if the atom apart from its isotopes.
