Which element has the smallest number of proton in its atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
Is proton the smallest particle in a chemical element atom?
The smallest particle in the atom is the electron.
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
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.
Which element has the fewest proton between argon and nitrogen?
The element which has the smallest atomic number has the smallest number of protons. In this case, argon has a proton number of 18 (therefore it has 18 protons in each atom), but nitrogen has fewer protons - it has a proton number of just 7, meaning that it has seven protons per nitrogen atom.
What subatomic particle is related the atomic number of an element?
protons, no. of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element.
What is the smallest particle of an element that contains all the chemical properties of that element?
The smallest particle of an element that contains all the chemical properties of that element is an atom. Each element is made up of atoms that have a unique number of protons, defining its chemical properties.
Is hydrogen the smallest particle of an element?
An average hydrogen atom consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The 1 proton accounts for nearly all of that atom's mass. The 1 electron has only about 1/2000th the mass of the proton. That's about 0.0005 of the total atomic mass.
What does atomic number of an element of a neutral atom gives?
proton
Does atom of the same element have the same number of proton?
Yes that is true Every atom of a given element does have the same number of protons.
Which subatomic particle identifies an atom as that of particular element?
The number of protons defines the element.
What is the importance of proton number in an atom?
The proton number of an atom determines what element it is an atom of. That is, it determines the chemical properties of the atom. It does this because the charge on the neutron is neutral, which means that the total charge of the nucleus is equal to the proton number, which it turn means that the number of electrons in the uncharged atom is equal to the proton number. And that in turn determines which electron shells will be filled and what valence electrons available. In this context, the proton number of the nucleus is the atomic number of theelement.
What is the smallest unit in an element?
The smallest unit of an element is the atom. There are smaller components of atoms, but they no longer hold the properties of the element that belong to an atom of that element. There are smaller things called quarks but they are not very well understood. Of the neutron, proton and electron, the electron is by far the smallest.
