The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines the identity of element. The number of protons equals the atomic number.
The number of protons defines the element.
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.
essentially that's what a lot of elements are, but what makes an element a new element is if it can be reproduced and be stabilized for an amount of time
The atom. Considered by Dalton to be indivisible and indestructible.
No -- silver is an element. It's smallest possible component is an atom of silver, which (obviously) can not be sub-atomic.
The number of protons defines the element.
Protons, electrons and neutrons
The number of protons defines the element.
A particle is part of a element, and the element has particles in it. A particle is like a small tiny object and a element is stuff combined.
The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
This particle is the atom.
A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found in the nuclei of atoms. The number of protons an element has in its atomic nuclei is its atomic number, and defines the element. A neutron is a subatomic particle that has no charge and is also found in the nucleus of an atom. The number of neutrons in the nuclei of an element can vary. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, giving them different mass numbers, are called isotopes.

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still has the chemical characteristics of that element
An atom of iron is the smallest particle of the element iron.
This particle is the atom.
An "element" is not a subatomic particle. Your question makes no sense and is therefore unanswerable.Another answer:Since an element is not a subatomic particle, the only answer can be a proton.
