Elemnts are pure in the sense that they are mad eup of one thing and can't be simplified. An element is determined by how many protons it contains, if you change the number of protons (atomic number) you change the element. Compounds are more then one element ionicly or covalently bonded together. Water, H2O, is a compound and can be broken down into 2 hydrogens and one oxygen.
the number of electrons can be different; it makes the element become an ion.
The Atom is the smallest particle of an element that has characteristics of that element. The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element into a Atom.
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. The atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element. No Sub-Atomic Particles have any characterisitics of an element. It is the collective arrangement of electrons and protons (and usually neutrons) which gives an element its characteristics. An atom is the smallest particle that has elemental characteristics.
The smallest particle of an element that can exist either alone or in combination with other elements is an atom. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
istopes have different numbers of neutrons and most of their elements have several istopes
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
An "element" is not a subatomic particle. Your question makes no sense and is therefore unanswerable.Another answer:Since an element is not a subatomic particle, the only answer can be a proton.
in an atom protone makes the each element unique
The number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms. This is the atomic number of an element and each element has its own unique atomic number.
Hydrogen is an element, there will be atom that makes up an element and not element that will turn into another.
The atomic number or z number or the number of protons is what makes one atom different from another. The atomic number or z number or the number of protons is what makes one atom different from another.
Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down by chemical means. The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
A quark is a kind of subatomic particle, and 3 quarks makes up another subatomic particle (a baryon). A quark and an anti-quark make up another kind of sub-atomic particle, (a meson).
