Is silver a subatomic particle?
No -- silver is an element. It's smallest possible component is an atom of silver, which (obviously) can not be sub-atomic.
Why are the subatomic particles not considered the simplest form of an element?
The simplest form of an element is an atom. Subatomic particles are not a form of the element; they are a "building block" of an element.
How do you figure out the subatomic particle numbers for each element?
Number of protons= Atomic number Number of neutrons= Mass number-Atomic number Number of electrons=Number of protons (If there is no charge on the atom)
What subatomic particle gives you the atomic number?
Protons.The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the atom. The identity of an atom is based on its atomic number, so a change in the number of protons mean an atom has turned into a different element. However, an addition or subtraction of neutrons creates different isotopes of an element, and a change in the number of electrons creates an ion of the element.
How can subatomic particles help identify an element?
you find the real atomic twist in the vein
What subatomic particle has a positive charge and identifies an element by its atomic number?
The proton.
Which subatomic particles identifies an atom as that of a particular element?
the proton
Which subatomic particle idetifies an atom as that of a particular element?
The number of protons defines the element.
What subatomic particle varies in number in all the istopes of a particular element?
neutrons
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass proton or element?
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.
How can you find the number of each subatomic particle found in an atom of a particular element?
By looking at the atom.
