∙ 12y agoAn element is defined by the number of protons in the atomic nucleus of its atoms.
The number of electrons can vary in ions. The number of neutrons can be different in the possible isotopes of an element, which are nonetheless the same element.

While the number of neutrons and electrons may vary, they only have an effect on the atom's mass or charge. But an atom with 2 protons will always be Helium, and an atom with 35 protons will always be Bromine.

Which subatomic particle matters most when determining the identity of an element?
protons
Identify the subatomic particle used to define an element and explain why this particle is used.?
no i cant answer it
The subatomic particle that is most responsible for how an atom reacts with other atoms is?
Assuming that you mean the chemical properties, the electrons are what define each element. If you meant subatomic particles, then it doesn't matter; each subatomic particle has unique characteristics.
In the atom what type of particle determines the element that atoms represent?
proton you can change the number of neutrons and electrons and still have the same element
Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?
Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.
Which subatomic particle determines the element's identity?
This particle is the proton.
What subatomic particle has to do with the identity?
The identity of a chemical element is given by the number protons.
How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?
The number of protons determines what is the element.
Which subatomic particle matters most when determining the identity of an element?
protons
What subatomic particle helps identify the element's identity?
There is no individual sub-atomic particle that is responsible for the identity of an element. It is the way the electrons, protons and (neutrons) are arranged in an element that gives it it's identity.
What subatomic particle determines which elementan atom is?
The number of protons is determining the element
Which subatomic particle determines the activity of the element?
In the chemical reactivity of atoms electrons are involved.
What subatomic particle determines which element it is?
The number of protons in an atom determines which element it is (i.e Silver-47 protons vs. Gold-79 protons)
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.
What subatomic particle is the MOST important when trying to figure out what the element is?
The number of protons tells you which chemical element the atom is. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element.
Which subatomic particle identifies an atom as that of particular element?
The number of protons defines the element.
what element have a subatomic particle?
Neutron
