Protons and neutrons are always found in the nucleus of an atom. Scientists over the years have speculated the position of electrons. The currently accepted model is the Atomic Orbital Model. This model predicts that electrons are found in sub-orbitals which are positioned in subshells. These subshells are located between principle energy levels.

How can you find the number of each subatomic particle found in an atom of a particular element?

By looking at the atom.


Where in the atom do you find each of the subatomic particles?

The only subatomic particle that has any role in chemistry is the electron.


The subatomic particle that is most responsible for how an atom reacts with other atoms is?

Assuming that you mean the chemical properties, the electrons are what define each element. If you meant subatomic particles, then it doesn't matter; each subatomic particle has unique characteristics.


What is the charge on each subatomic particle?

What is the class of matter that has more than one kind of particle?

The answer depends on what you mean by a "particle". Everything is made of atoms and each atom is made from a number of different subatomic particles. Therefore, everything is made up different subatomic particles.


How can you figure out how many of each subatomic particle is in a atom has?

To determine the number of each subatomic particle in an atom, you need to know the atom's atomic number and mass number. The atomic number tells you the number of protons, while the mass number gives you the total number of protons and neutrons combined. Subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons. Electrons will equal the number of protons in a neutral 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.
