The atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus, determines what kind of atom it is.
Protons (the number of ..) determine the 'kind' of element,and the electrons in the outmost valency orbital determine the properties(the number of electron; and 'octet' rule: "make it eight preferably').
the number of protons determines the atom.
Mass Number
The number of protons, which are found in the nucleus of an 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.
Yes, the number of electrons in an atom determines its chemical properties and where it is located on the periodic table. Each element has a unique number of electrons, which determines its position in the periodic table and its interaction with other elements.
Atomic Number
No that is not true. The number of PROTONS determines what the element is.
Yes, the number of electrons in an atom determines its chemical properties and therefore what kind of element it is. The arrangement of electrons in an atom's energy levels is responsible for the element's characteristics such as reactivity and bonding behavior.
The number of protons.
The number of protons.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the atomic number of the element to which the atom belongs.
