How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?
The number of protons determines what is the element.
Which subatomic particle plays the greatest part in determining the propertiesof an element?
Electrons
Subatomic particle that defines the element?
Protons, electrons and neutrons
Which subatomic particle determines the properties of an element?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines the properties of an element. Every element has its own unique number of protons, called its atomic number, which is displayed on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
What subatomic particle determines if an element is an isotope or not?
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.
Which subatomic particle determines the element's identity?
This particle is the proton.
How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?
The number of protons determines what is the element.
What subatomic particle determines which elementan atom is?
The number of protons is determining the element
Which subatomic particle determines the activity of the element?
In the chemical reactivity of atoms electrons are involved.
What subatomic particle determines which element it is?
The number of protons in an atom determines which element it is (i.e Silver-47 protons vs. Gold-79 protons)
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass proton or element?
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.
What subatomic particle is the MOST important when trying to figure out what the element is?
The number of protons tells you which chemical element the atom is. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element.
Which subatomic particle identifies an atom as that of particular element?
The number of protons defines the element.
what element have a subatomic particle?
Neutron
Is silicon a subatomic particle?
Silicon is a chemical element not a particle.
Is carbon a subatomic particle?
Atom is a chemical element, not a particle.
What is a positively subatomic particle called?
element
