What is identitfied as an atom?
An atom is the smallest part of matter with a chemical identity, impossible to be broken by chemical procedures.
What is the smallest unit of matter that retains the identity of the substance?
If that substance is an element, the smallest part is the atom which, if broken down further into atomic particles, loses its identity.
What happens to the identity of the atom when an electron leaves the nucleus?
Electrons are not part of the atomic nucleus.
What information can determine an atom's identity?
What is unique to each atom and provides the elemental identity of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus. Only that.
What happens if the elements have different protons and electrons?
A neutral atom of a chemical element has a constant number of protons and electrons; loss or gain of electrons transform this atom in an ion.After the change of the number of protons the identity of the atom is lost.

What happens to an atom if it is broken apart?
It explodes which is called the atom explosion

What happens when atom bonds are broken?

What happens to the identity of the atom when an electron leaves the nucleus?
Electrons are not part of the atomic nucleus.
What are parts of an atom?
Most atoms are broken down into three parts. The atom consists of an electron, proton, and a neutron. The type of atom molecule determines how many of the protons, neutrons, and electrons are present.
Which subatomic particle establishes the identity of an atom?
The number of protons establishes the elemental identity of an atom.

What is the one the determines the identity of an atom?
the one thing that gives an atom its identity is the mass number and the atomic number
What an Atoms identity?
The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom determine its identity.
What is the smallest piece of a chemical element called?
An ATOM!!!! An atom can be sub-divided in to protons, neutrons, and electrons.
