The number of protons in an atomic nucleus determines which element an atom is. For example: If the number of protons in an atom is 6, it is carbon. If the number is 11, it's sodium. And let's be clear about this: the sole determinant of elemental identity is the number of protons in the nucleus. Period.
Atom is named after the Greek word atomos, which i think means particle. And if you're talking about the name of the element, whoever discovers/invents it gets naming rights. That's how it is with almost everything that people discover. >.>
A atom determines the element through the amount of protons and neutrons in it's nucleus, and amount of electrons in it's shells.
the atomic particle that determines the type of atom is protons
The type of atom is determined by atomic number, which tells you the number of protons in the nucleus.
The number of protons.

The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell determines its valency.
The number of unpaired electrons determines the number of covalent bonds that can be formed by an atom.
Where its located.
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
The number of protons.
angles
The atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus, determines what kind of atom it is.
The electron configuration of an atom determines how it behaves when it comes into contact with another atom.
Neutron
The container determines the shape.
the number of protons determines the atom.
The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell determines its valency.
An atom behaves on how many penises it has
The electrons in the atoms are in an electromagnetic field. This field determines the velocity, length, and shape of orbit in which they spin around the nucleus.
The number of unpaired electrons determines the number of covalent bonds that can be formed by an atom.
i am pretty sure that it is the mass and temperature of the atom
