An atom of an element is comprised of protons, electrons, and usually neutrons. The specific element is determined by the number of protons, and so there is only one particle that determines the element.

How can scientists determine whether or not they have created a new element or just an isotope of an element after smashing together particles in a particle accelerator?
essentially that's what a lot of elements are, but what makes an element a new element is if it can be reproduced and be stabilized for an amount of time
Why are the subatomic particles not considered the simplest form of an element?
The simplest form of an element is an atom. Subatomic particles are not a form of the element; they are a "building block" of an element.
What is the smallest subatomic particles?
Of the three basic particles that atoms are made of, the electron is the smallest.
What are the smallest of the three subatomic particles and are not counted in the mass of an atom?
electrons
What determine the concentration of element and compound in the atmosphere?
The concentration is related to the volume of the atmosphere and the amount of the element your looking at.Molarity(concentration)= G/(Molecular weight)x Liters(volume)
What particles determine a particular element?
Negative ions
Which particles are in the nuleus of an atom?
Inside of an atom there are protons and neutrons. The protons determine the element whereas the neutron can determine if it is an isotope of that element. Of course there are many smaller particles inside of protons and neutrons like quarks and gluons and ... strings.
What is the only element that does not contain all three subatomic particles?
neon
What are the three types of atoms that make up an element?
An atom and an element are synonyms. Rather, subatomic particles make up atoms (and elements). The three types of subatomic particles are neutrons, protons, and electrons.
What are the three factors to determine if solvation will occur?
particles, pressure, and temperatur
Which particle determines the atomic number of an element?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
Describe the atom and its three subatomics particles?
An atom is a smallest particle of an element. The subatomic particles are electrons, protons and neutrons
What determins an element?
You can determine what element an atom is by it's amount of sub-atomic particles and their positions. Every element has a different amount of electrons, so that is the easiest way to determine what type an atom is. If you wanted to determine it more broadly, for example, which group an element was in, you could just count the amount of electrons in the outer shell, as each group is unique in this way.
What different between a particle and a element?
a particle is typically a pakage of mass too small to be considered an element an element is consisted of atoms, which are consisted of three particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons, which in turn are consisted of particles called quarks
How can scientists determine whether or not they have created a new element or just an isotope of an element after smashing together particles in a particle accelerator?
essentially that's what a lot of elements are, but what makes an element a new element is if it can be reproduced and be stabilized for an amount of time
For the element with atomic number 36 how many of each of the three subatomic particles are contained in this element the atomic mass of this element is 83.798amu?
The atomic number is 5becuse it is in the nuclise
How do you calculate the atomic number of an element?
It is the number of positely charged nuclear particles ( protons ).
