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.
