What identifies the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an element.
What is the one thing that determines the identity of an atom?
the one thing that gives an atom its identity is the mass number and the atomic number
What does the number of protons in an atom also tell you?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom tell you which element you are dealing with. It is the number of protons in an atomic nucleus that determines the elemental identity. Only that. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons you will find in the nucleus of every atom of that element, regardless of the number of neutrons or electrons involved.
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
The atomic number of an atom or element describes the number of what?
The atomic number of an atom is also known as the proton number. it is, quite simply, the number of protons in the atoms nucleus - as an atom needs to be equally charged, it is also the number of electrons in an atom however, if an atom is radioactive this is not always true.
What do protons determine about an element?
The protons of an element determine the atomic number, also known as the proton number. Do not confuse this with mass number which is the number of protons and neutrons.
Number of protons in a an atom of an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number.
What can be determined if only the atomic number of an item is known?
the total number of protons and the total number of electrons in the atom
What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus determines the element that the atom belongs to. This number is known as the atomic number and is unique to each element. By identifying the number of protons in an atom, we can determine its elemental identity.
What identifies the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an element.
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to which of the following?
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in its nucleus.
Is the number of neutrons in an atom known as its mass number?
No, neutrons + protons = mass
What is the one thing that determines the identity of an atom?
the one thing that gives an atom its identity is the mass number and the atomic number

What one factor identifies an atom as a specific element?
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus determines its element. This number is known as the atomic number and is unique to each element.
What is the particle that identifies a atom?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its chemical identity.
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
