What three particles determine which element you have?
An atom of an element is comprised of protons, electrons, and usually neutrons. The specific element is determined by the number of protons, and so there is only one particle that determines the 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.
Is the number of neutrons in an atom determines what element it is rue?
No that is not true. The number of PROTONS determines what the element is.
What determines a specific trait?
DNA determines a specific trait.
Is it true that the element's mass number determines how the compound will form?
No. The element's atomic number determines how it forms compounds.
How strongly a substances particles attract one another is what determines the substances?
The number of protons (aka atomic number) determines the element or substance.
What factors determine an element's chemical properties?
There are specific factors that can contribute to a the properties of chemical elements. Some of these factors include the amount of valance electrons in the element.
What does the number of protons in an element determines?
An element is the type of substance it is, for example, oxygen, hydrogen, etc. An atom is the combined particle consisting of electrons spinning around a nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons. The number of protons in an atom, not element, determines the type of element it is. If the atom looses a proton, then the element changes to a different one.
The atomic number determines the what?
The number of protons.
What determines the identity of a element?
protons
Does the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atoms?
the number of atoms is 19 an 20
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.
