Please note that every property of an element depends on protons so one property is often hard to sort out from another since each property has its own trends in relation to the number of protons (atomic number).
The first property that indicates the number of protons is a nanoscopic one, atomic width.
A property that can indicate the relative number of protons is density. That is chemical density not structural density. Air voids in a solid can make the density seem smaller. Most solids (that is, true solids devoid of air gaps and porosity) are heavier than water.
So if you wanted to find density differences in known solids (and reative atomic numbers) you would hit the object with x-rays and record the relative amounts that came through to the exposure film.
If you have access to a Scanning Electron Microscope using primarily the back scatter contrast method can give you an image depicting relative differences in density.
Remember though it must be a true solid. Many elements have isotopes which essentially are more dense atoms withe the same atomic number. These elements are still relatively close to the non-isotopic element since there is no absolute way to.
What else can I help you with?
What information the subatomic particles is given by the element's atomic number?
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. This information identifies the element uniquely and determines its chemical properties. Electrons in a neutral atom balance the positive charge of the protons.
What does the nuclear stability graph illustrate about the relationship between the number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus?
The nuclear stability graph shows that there is an optimal ratio of protons to neutrons in an atomic nucleus for stability. Nuclei with too few or too many neutrons compared to protons are less stable.
Do isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons?
Yes. Different isotopes of an element always have the same number of protons because the number of protons determines the elemental identity of the substance. It is the number of neutrons that changes to make up the different isotopes of a given element.
What are 3 subatomic particles that make up an atom and their location?
- Electron - surrounding the nucleus in orbitals/shells with a negative charge and are in a electron cloud - Proton - make up the nucleus with the positive charge - Neutron - make up the nucleus with no charge what so ever
How can you determine the number of valance electrons by looking at the periodic table?
look at the group number; an atom can only have 8 valance electrons. any thing higher than 10, subtract 10 from it and you get the valance elections. This way would not work for transition metals in group 7 and up.
An atom's atomic number is?
it shows how many protons are present in an atom
What does an atomic number show?
The atomic number is also known as protons. It shows the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom and identical to the charge number of the nucleus.
What is an atomic number. how is it used to create a periodic table?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element. It defines the element. No two different elements can have the same number of protons. It is used to lay out the periodic table because the table shows the elements in increasing numbers of protons.
What describes the atomic number of an atom?
It is the number of protons contained with the nucleus, this defines which element it is. If the atom has neutral charge then it will also be equivalent to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
What is the smallest unit showing properties of the element Protons and Neutrons in nucleus?
The smallest unit that shows the properties of an element is an atom, and yes, an atom has protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What is the name of A chart that shows all the elements organized by the number of protons in each element's nucleus?
The chart is called the periodic table of elements, and elements are organized by their atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus.
What is atomic number . How is it used to create a periodic table?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element. It defines the element. No two different elements can have the same number of protons. It is used to lay out the periodic table because the table shows the elements in increasing numbers of protons.
Atomic number describes what?
Atomic number describes about number of protons.It is equals to number of protons.
What is The atomic number of an element is the total number of which particles in a nucleus?
The atomic number is equivalent to the number of protons or electrons (in the neutral state of an atom).
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a atom?
Atomic nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of an element shows the number of protons in a nucleus of an atom of that element, while the atomic mass shows the average number of nucleons (either a proton or a neutron) in nuclei of that element. There can be an average because, unlike proton number, neutron number can vary from isotope to isotope. For example, carbon can have 6 or 7 neutrons and still be stable, but it always has to have 6 protons, or else it'd be a different element. Because atomic mass is equal to the number of protons and neutrons, one can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the number of protons from the total number of nucleons in a given isotope. To do this, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
Which of these illustrations shows isotopes of the element boron?
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. So, for boron, look for illustrations that show different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus while maintaining the same number of protons.
Where are the atomic numbers of an atom on the Bohr diagram?
The atomic number of an atom, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus, is typically written at the bottom of the element's symbol on a Bohr diagram. The diagram also shows the arrangement of electrons in energy levels around the nucleus based on the atomic number.
