What does the subatomic particle do?
Protons and neutrons are the components of the atomic nucleus; the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, the most important parameter for a chemical element. Electrons surround the nucleus and are responsible (the last level) for the chemical properties of elements.
What is the number of subatomic particles that make up the nucleus of a Uranium 235 atom?
The subatomic particles located in an atom's nucleus are protons and neutrons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, thus has 92 protons. That means 235U must have 235 - 92 = 143 neutrons.
Can isotopes have the same number of subatomic particles?
An isotope is defined as: Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element So basically, an isotope is from the same place (element) and has the same number of protons, but the number of electrons differ. So isotopes are not subatomic; the protons and electrons that make an isotope are subatomic.
What subatomic particle makes an element unique?
The number of protons is unique for every element.Varying the number of neutrons will give you an isotope of the same element.Varying the number of electrons will give you an ion of the same element.
What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
What is the subatomic particles on which the atomic number is based?
Number of protons in the nucleus is 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 two subatomic particles match the atomic number on the periodic table?
The two subatomic particles are protons and electrons. They match the atomic number on periodic table.
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 Atomic number is the number of what subatomic particle?
Atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom).
Which subatomic particle is important for atomic number?
The proton.
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.
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.
What of these subatomic particles are represented by atomic number?
This particle is the proton.
How do you find the atomic numbersof an subatomic particles?
NUmber of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
Which subatomic particle corresponds to the atomic number or the periodic table?
the number of protons
