What aspect of an atom's subatomic particles defines which element it is?
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
What two subatomic particles are the same in number in any stable element?
Protons and electrons
Can isotopes have the same number of subatomic particles?
An isotope is defined as: Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element So basically, an isotope is from the same place (element) and has the same number of protons, but the number of electrons differ. So isotopes are not subatomic; the protons and electrons that make an isotope are subatomic.
What subatomic particle makes an element unique?
The number of protons is unique for every element.Varying the number of neutrons will give you an isotope of the same element.Varying the number of electrons will give you an ion of the same element.
How do isotopes of the same element differ with regards to subatomic particles?
Same number of protons; different number of neutrons. The number of electrons will also be the same, assuming a neutral atom.
All atoms of a given element have exactly the same number of which type of subatomic particle?
Protons and electrons. However, the number of neutrons may vary to give isotopes.
What Atomic particle controls its reactivity?
The number of protons in the nucleus will ALWAYS be the same for a specific element.(ex: Hydrogen always has EXACTLY 1 proton)But, the number of electons and neutrons can vary in a particular element.
What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
Atom of a particular element has a unique and characteristic number of these particles?
Each element has a unique number of protons. If another atom has the same number of protons as that element, it is the same element.
What are Atoms with the same number of protons are?
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
All atoms of a given element have exactly the same number of what type of subatomic particle?
All elements are made of the same subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Oxygen and Gold are both made out of these same particles, just in different numbers. There is one element that lacks a neutron, and that is hydrogen-1, but it is still made of protons and electrons, in this case, one of each.
What is the same about all atoms of one elements?
They have the same number of protons.
