Much of the nature of an atom is determined by the configuration of its electrons. The configuration controls how freely it can bond, how charged the atom is, how stable it is, and other atomic properties.
The number of protons determines the element's atomic number. When combined with the number of neutrons, it determines the element's atomic mass.
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 in each nucleus of an atom of the element.
Number of protons or the atomic number of an atom determines what is the element.
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.
No that is not true. The number of PROTONS determines what the element is.

Mass Number
The number of protons.
This is the number of protons.
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 in each nucleus of an atom of the element.
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
Number of protons or the atomic number of an atom determines what is the element.
The number of protons in each nucleus of an atom of the element.
Its atomic number. In other words the number of positive protons in the nucleus of each atom and the number of negative electrons surrounding the nucleus of each atom.
