What is the place of an element in the modern periodic table determined by?

Which mass number or atomic number determine what element an atom is?
The identity of the element is determined solely by the atomic number, which is the number of protons.
What determens the atomic number of an atom?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus.
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom is?
The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.
If a sodium ion is isoelectronic with neon why is it still considered sodium?
The characterization of element for an atom or ion is determined solely by the number of protons in its nucleus, which remains the same in neutral atoms and in all ions of the element.
What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
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.
What number determines what element an atom is from?
The identity of an element is determined by its atomic number. This is the number of protons it has, as well as the number of electrons it has when it's neutral. This number is unique to each element: no two elements have the same atomic number.
What is a atomic number of element determined by?
Number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus
Why do youthink the elements are arrange the way that they are?
On the Periodic Table of Elements, the order from top left to bottom right is determined by the atomic number of that element, which is determined by the number of protons that are present in the nucleus of that element's atom.
