The number of protons defines an element - the number of neutrons isn't needed to find the identity of the element. All ions and isotopes with 44 protons is ruthenium. However, with the information about the neutrons, we know the specific isotope: 101Ru.

What is the element that has a mass of 55 and contains 30 neutrons in its atoms?

The element with a mass of 55 and 30 neutrons in its atoms is zinc (Zn). This can be determined by subtracting the number of neutrons from the atomic mass of the element.


How many protons and neutrons does cesium 134 have?

Oh, dude, cesium-134 has 55 protons and around 79 neutrons. It's like the cool kid at the periodic table party, just hanging out with its atomic number of 55 and atomic mass of around 134. So, yeah, it's got its protons and neutrons chillin' like, "What's up, we're cesium-134."


What is the symbol of an isotope of cesium whose atoms have 82 neutrons?

You are looking for the symbol of cesium (Cs) and indication of its mass number. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So if every atom of cesium has 55 protons, then the mass number of this isotope is 137. The mass number is indicated in superscript before the symbol: 137Cs


How many different elements do we know about?

At present (2013) the Periodic Table lists 118 elements in total. A small number of these are not naturally occuring and have only been synthesised under laboratory conditions and only in exceptionally minute quantities. Elements consist of particles called atoms that consist of protons, electrons and optionally neutrons. Protons and neutrons are in the core of the atom, while electrons reside on different energy levels in a cloud around the core. The atomic number of the element is determined by the number of protons in the core. The lightest, simplest element in the universe is hydrogen-1, which consists of one proton and one electron. There are also isotopes (different types) of hydrogen that have one or two neutrons in the core. Since the number of protons defines the element, we can create a different element by adding more protons to the core. To make the new element an atom, we need to add a corresponding number of electrons, since protons are positively and electrons are negatively charged and an atom is always neutrally charged. The more protons and neutrons you add to a core, the bigger it gets. When the core gets bigger, it also gets more unstable. This puts limits to what kind of elements occur in nature and also causes some elements to be radioactive. The number of different elements that are proven to exist is 118, with the largest atom being number 118 (temporary name ununoctium), since element number 119 is yet to be found. As of 2012, 55 hypothetical elements are being created.

What is the element 54 protons 54 neutrons and 78 electrons?

I think you meant "54 protons, 54 electrons, and 78 neutrons," because I don't think it's possible for any element to have such a high proton-electron different, especially when that element is the noble gas Xenon. Anyways, if you did make a typo, the element you're thinking of should be Xenon-134
