every atom will have a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons determine the name of an atom, Neutrons determine the isotope, and Electrons determine the charge. Any new combination of Protons, Neutrons, or Electrons will change the identity of a given atom. For example: a helium atom with no electrons and two neutrons is identified as an alpha particle, despite the fact that it still retains the name of Helium because of its two Protons. The same is true for different isotopes: 242Uranium has a different identity than 217Uranium, because it has neutrons and requires more energy to begin changes in electron levels. 242Uranium is also heavier; it has 25 deadweight neutrons tagging on. Despite this, Uranium is still Uranium no matter how many or few neutrons it has. Protons are the true building blocks of atomic identity. The table of elements is arranged by proton number. Atomic number is the number of protons. Helium, has an atomic number of 2 because it has 2 protons, and Uranium has an atomic number of 92 because it has 92 protons.

What is the subatomic particle that gives an atom its identity?
This is the proton.
How do you use atomis mass in a sentence?
The atomic mass gives the mass of the atom. It is one of the physical property of the atom.
Who was the first person who gives idea about atom?
John Tompson
What gives an atom the ability to react with another atom to form a compound?
its electrons
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.
An atom that gives up electrons becomes an?
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
What gives the atom its chemical properties?
the electron
What is an atom that gives up electrons?
A cation
When an atom gives off a(an)..... It becomes an atom with an atomic number of two less?
An alpha particle, which is the nucleus of a helium atom.
What is the prime attribute in DBMS?
prime attributes are the attributes of a candidate key which will give uniqueness. a candidate key is (the subset of superkey) which gives uniqueness. Super key is the maximum set of attributes that can provide uniqueness example ABCDE is a super key AB CD DE are the candidate keys s.t. AB is the primary key. CD and DE are the secondary/alternate keys.
How many protons and neutrons are there in chlorine?
Chlorine has an Atom number of 17 and atom mass of 35.45. So atom mass - atom number gives you 18.45
When an atom gives away electrons to another atom what happens?
Either the atom will die out/implode or they may combine. Who really knows.
How do you use the word uniqueness in a sentence?
The uniqueness of Dan is that he is one-of-a-kind!
What gives you the amount of protons in an atom?
The atomic number.
The subatomic particle that gives an atom its identity?
This is the proton.
