You would use the atomic number and the Atomic Mass. These will tell you how many protons, neutrons, and electrons an atom has. See

= How do you find the number of protons neutrons and electrons in an element? = for an explanation on the atomic number and mass.

The arrangement and number of electrons, protons, and neutrons defines an atom and its properties.

Why don't atoms have the same number of protons?

Different atoms have different numbers of protons because the number of protons in the nucleus determines the element. Elements are defined by the number of protons they possess -- this is what sets one element apart from another.


How can you tell two atoms apart?

Atoms can be distinguished by the number of protons in their nucleus, known as the atomic number. Atoms of different elements have a unique number of protons, which determines their identity on the periodic table. Additionally, atoms can also be differentiated by their electron configuration and isotopic composition.

How do you tell how many elements are in a compound formula?

A chemical formula will always tell you how many of each element is in a particular formula. For example glucose (C6H12O6) contains six carbons, twelve hydrogens and 6 oxygens. All together this is three elements, and 24 atoms. Try water..the chemical formula is H2O. So it contains two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This is two elements, but three atoms. I hope this helped!
