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
The atomic number tells you the number?
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the associated element.
What characteristic of any single atom determines the number of covalent bonds that it can form?
The number of electrons in the atoms outer shell.
What is the Number of protons in an atom is called the atomic?
The Atomic Number. Remember the Atomic Number, of an elements is ;- #1 The position in the Periodic Table #2 The number of protons in the nucleus #3 The number of electrons in the neutrally charged atom. NB Do NOT confuser Atomic Number with Atomic Mass. Atomic Mass the total number of nucleons in the nucleus of af an atom. Nucleons is the collective noun for the sum of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What characteristic indicates a atom is unstable?
Forming very strong bonds
How are atoms of one element differs from those of other element?
atomic number of an atom is its own characteristic property,ie.the number of protons or electrons in an atom,which distinguishes atoms from one another
What characteristic does a neutral atom have?
The same number of protons and electrons.
What does the atomic number of the atom tell us?
Atomic number, being a characteristic property (property that is diff. for each element), it identifies the element, For instance, Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, and it's the only one that has that atomic number, same with any other element, except that no other element has an atomic # of 8. No two elements can share an atomic number.
What an atom maybe if it has a different number of protons and electrons?
The number of protons is a specific characteristic of an atom; if the number of protons is other the element is other.
What other characteristic sub-atomic particle can the atomic number describe for a non iodized atom?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. If an atom is not ionized, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons.
What determines and Atom chemical property?
This is the number of protons.
What property does a neutral atom have?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons in the outer shells equals the number of protons in the nucleus.
What does an atoms atomic number tell about the atom?
Atomic number, being a characteristic property (property that is diff. for each element), it identifies the element, For instance, Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, and it's the only one that has that atomic number, same with any other element, except that no other element has an atomic # of 8. No two elements can share an atomic number.
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
The atomic number tells you the number?
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the associated element.
What characteristic of any single atom determines the number of covalent bonds that it can form?
The number of electrons in the atoms outer shell.
What is the number of bonds normally associated with a single carbon atom in a compounds?
Four
