What of these subatomic particles are represented by atomic number?
Protons are the subatomic particles represented by the atomic number of an element. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity on the periodic table.
What subatomic particle number determines the identity of an element?
The number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element, determines the identity of an element.
What subatomic particles gives an atom its identity?
Protons are the subatomic particles that give an atom its identity. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's atomic number, which in turn defines the specific type of atom.
Identify the subatomic particle used to define an element and explain why this particle is used.?
no i cant answer it
What is the smallest particle of the element gold that can still be classified as gold?
The smallest particle in gold should in fact be gold. Gold is an element, Au, and thus should only contain gold atoms. You could also argue that some subatomic particle is the smallest particle in gold.
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.
What subatomic particle determines which elementan atom is?
The number of protons is determining the element
Which subatomic particle plays the greatest part in determining the propertiesof an element?
Electrons play the greatest part in determining the properties of an element. The number of electrons in the outermost energy level (valence electrons) determines an element's chemical behavior, such as its reactivity and ability to form bonds with other elements.
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.
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 element have a subatomic particle?
Neutron
Is silicon a subatomic particle?

Is carbon a subatomic particle?
Atom is a chemical element, not a particle.
What is a positively subatomic particle called?
element
What subatomic particle does nitrogen represent?
Nitrogen is a chemical element not a particle.
What subatomic particle detemines properties of an element?
This particle is the proton, equal to the atomic number.
