Is measuring the size of an atom by the size of its orbital not very accurate?

No. It is the only way to measure an atom because the orbital is the outer part of the atom and determines its size.


What gives an atom its size?

Mainly the nucleus so the number of protons and neutrons determines the size. The orbiting electrons do of course make a contribution.


What number in an atom determines what kind of atom it is?

The atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus, determines what kind of atom it is.

What is the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom?

The number of protons determines the element's atomic number. When combined with the number of neutrons, it determines the element's atomic mass.


What three conditions of an atom control its strength of attraction and size?

The number of protons in the nucleus determines the strength of attraction, with more protons leading to stronger attraction. The number of energy levels or electron shells determines the size of the atom, with more energy levels leading to a larger size. The number of electrons in the outermost shell determines reactivity, with atoms tending to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable outer shell configuration.
