Which term is used to describe the way the mass of subatomic particles is described?
Atomic Mass units =]
Is sodium a subatomic particle?
No, sodium is not a subatomic particle. Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. Subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Subatomic particle that defines the element?
The subatomic particle that defines the element is the proton. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element's atomic number, which differentiates one element from another on the periodic table.
How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?
Subatomic particles identify elements based on the number of protons in the nucleus. Protons give the element its identity, as each element has a unique number of protons. This number is known as the atomic number, and it determines how the element behaves chemically and physically.
Which subatomic particle distinguishes one element from another?
The number of protons in an atom determines the identity of the element.See these two related questions for more information:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_atomic_number_and_what_does_it_tell_you_about_the_number_of_protons_in_an_atomWhat is the atomic number and what does it tell you about the number of protons in an atom?]and[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_find_the_number_of_protons_and_electrons_and_neutrons_in_an_atomHow do you find the number of protons and electrons and neutrons in an atom?]
What is the subatomic particles on which the atomic number is based?
Number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number.
What subatomic particle is the same as the atomic number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons (or the number of electrons) are the same as the atomic number.
What is the relation of subatomic mass to atomic number?
Atomic number = number of protons or number of electrons
The atomic number of an element is the number of which subatomic particle?
Proton
What 2 subatomic particles can you determine from the atomic number?
Atomic number is same as the number of protons and number of electrons.
What of these subatomic particles are represented by atomic number?
Protons are the subatomic particles represented by the atomic number of an element. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity on the periodic table.
Which subatomic particle is important for atomic number?
The proton.
How do you find the atomic numbersof an subatomic particles?
The atomic number of a subatomic particle is determined by the number of protons it has. Protons have a positive charge and are located in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is equivalent to its atomic number.
What Atomic number is the number of what subatomic particle?
Atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom).
The atomic number for an element is the total number of subatomic particles?
False; the atomic number is the total number if protons in the nucleus only.
Which subatomic particle corresponds to the atomic number or the periodic table?
the number of protons
Can you use the atomic number and atomic mass to calculate the number of each subatomic particle?
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
