The Number of protons of an atom defines which element it is, for example an atom with three protons will always be Lithium
If it is an atom, not an ion, then the number of protons = no. of electrons
differing numbers of neutrons effect the Atomic Mass of an atom, differing atomic masses create isotopes, but they are still the same element?
what sets an atom of one element from atoms of all other elements
is the elements atomic number,
What else can I help you with?
What information will an elements atomic number give you?
Atomic no. helps to know 1. the position of element in the periodic table2. Common properties3. Electronic Configuration4. Common electrovalencies and oxidation states.5. Many other properties.
What is the smallest amount of an element?
The smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element is the atom.
What does it mean if an atom has no subscript in a chemical formula?
There is one atom of that element in the molecule.
Is one move of zinc the same as one atom of zinc?
No, one move of zinc is not the same as one atom of zinc. A move of zinc typically refers to transferring a set amount of the element from one location to another, while an atom of zinc specifically refers to one individual unit of the element zinc.
If a substance is composed entirely of one type of atom it is known as a?
An Element is the substance consisting of only one type of atom
What distinguishes the atom of one element from the atom another element?
the number of protons
What distinguishes one atom from another atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom distinguishes it from another atom. This number is known as the atomic number and determines the element to which the atom belongs.
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 distinguishes an atom of one element from an atom of a differ?
The number of protons in the atomic nuclei.
What distinguishes one element from?
An element's atomic number, or number of protons, differentiates one element from another.
What part of an atom can move to another object?
When an atom of one element is brought in contact with an atom of another element, electrons get transferred from one element to another. However, if the atoms of same element come together then electrons are shared and not transferred. Exception to this is elements in noble gases.
Which particle is responsible for determining the identity of the element?
The particle responsible for determining the identity of an element is the proton. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, known as the atomic number, uniquely identifies the element. For example, hydrogen has one proton, while carbon has six. This atomic number distinguishes one element from another in the periodic table.
What is the main difference between an atom of one element and an atom of another element?
I do not know i am gust a kid and this is my homework.
What is an atomic number and how is it used to distinguish one element from another?
It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It defines what element the atom is.
Which subatomic particle distinguishes one element from another?
The number of protons in an atom determines the identity of the element.See these two related questions for more information:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_atomic_number_and_what_does_it_tell_you_about_the_number_of_protons_in_an_atomWhat is the atomic number and what does it tell you about the number of protons in an atom?]and[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_find_the_number_of_protons_and_electrons_and_neutrons_in_an_atomHow do you find the number of protons and electrons and neutrons in an atom?]
What is made up of only one atom?
An element is made up of only one type of atom, such as hydrogen (H) or oxygen (O). Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, which distinguishes it from other elements on the periodic table.
What is a pure substance that is composed of only one type of atom?
A pure substance made of only one type of atom is an element.An element, or elementary substance.An element.
