It's the count of one of the subatomic particles in the nucleus, the proton, that is significant in this regard. For example, an atom is hydrogen if and only if it has one proton in its nucleus. It is neon if and only if it has ten protons in its nucleus.

How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?
The number of protons determines what is the element.
Which subatomic particle plays the greatest part in determining the propertiesof an element?
Electrons
Subatomic particle that defines the element?
Protons, electrons and neutrons
Which subatomic particle determines the behavior of an element?
The electron shell is the source of an element's chemical properties and the moderator of chemical reactions; the electron shell depends on the protons that constitute the atom
What subatomic particle makes an element unique?
The number of protons is unique for every element.Varying the number of neutrons will give you an isotope of the same element.Varying the number of electrons will give you an ion of the same element.
What subatomic particle has a positive charge and identifies an element by its atomic number?
The proton.
Which subatomic particle identifies an atom as that of particular element?
The number of protons defines the element.
Which subatomic particles identifies an atom as that of a particular element?
the proton
Which subatomic particle idetifies an atom as that of a particular element?
The number of protons defines the element.
What subatomic particle varies in number in all the istopes of a particular element?
neutrons
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.
How can you find the number of each subatomic particle found in an atom of a particular element?
By looking at the atom.
what element have a subatomic particle?
Neutron
Is silicon a subatomic particle?
Silicon is a chemical element not a particle.
Which subatomic particle determines the element's identity?
This particle is the proton.
Is carbon a subatomic particle?
Atom is a chemical element, not a particle.
What is a positively subatomic particle called?
element
