Ah, what a lovely question! The subatomic particle that gives an element its identity is the proton. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its atomic number and defines its specific properties. Just like how every tree in our happy little forest is special and unique, each element shines in its own beautiful way thanks to its protons.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Which subatomic particle gives the nucleus its electric charge?
Protons are the subatomic particles that give the nucleus a positive electric charge. Electrons, with a negative charge, surround the nucleus.
What information about the subatomic makeup of an atom is given by the atomic number?
The atomic number of an atom gives the number of protons in its nucleus, which also determines its unique identity as an element. It also indirectly gives the number of electrons in a neutral atom, as the number of protons is balanced by the number of electrons in the atom.
Why is antimatter called the God particle?
The true name of the so called (by non specialists) god particle is the Higgs boson; this particle was predicted but not discovered until now. The Higgs boson is not the equivalent of the antimatter.
What are the subatomic particles of iron?
An atom of iron would have pretty much the same subatomic particles as most other atoms - protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of more fundamental particles, quarks. The defining factor that makes it iron is that it would have 26 protons; in a neutral iron atom that would mean it would have 26 electrons. Different isotopes of iron might have differing numbers of neutrons, about 92% of iron is Fe-56 which has 30 neutrons.
What subatomic particle helps identify the element's identity?
There is no individual sub-atomic particle that is responsible for the identity of an element. It is the way the electrons, protons and (neutrons) are arranged in an element that gives it it's identity.
The subatomic particle that gives an atom its identity?
This is the proton.
What is the subatomic particle that gives an atom its identity?
This is the proton.
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 gives an atom its identity?
Protons are the subatomic particles that give an atom its identity. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's atomic number, which in turn defines the specific type of atom.
What subatomic particle gives you the atomic number?
Protons.The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the atom. The identity of an atom is based on its atomic number, so a change in the number of protons mean an atom has turned into a different element. However, an addition or subtraction of neutrons creates different isotopes of an element, and a change in the number of electrons creates an ion of the element.
Which subatomic particle gives the nucleus its electric charge?
Protons are the subatomic particles that give the nucleus a positive electric charge. Electrons, with a negative charge, surround the nucleus.
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen-17?
Nitrogen-14 bombarded with an alpha particle (helium-4) gives Oxygen-17.
What information about the subatomic makeup of an atom is given by the atomic number?
The atomic number of an atom gives the number of protons in its nucleus, which also determines its unique identity as an element. It also indirectly gives the number of electrons in a neutral atom, as the number of protons is balanced by the number of electrons in the atom.
That particle that gives an element its atomic number is in this part?
The atomic number is determined by the number of protons, which are located in the nucleus.
Which subatomic particle accounts for magnetism?
The photon is responsible for mediating the electromagnetic force. This includes both electricity and magnetism (both of which are manifestations of the electromagnetic force.) Interestingly, the photon is also the particle responsible for light, which is an electromagnetic wave.
What particle has 26 electrons 29 neutrons and 26 protrons?
The particle you are describing is an atom of iron. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number, which is 26 for iron. The sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass number, which is 56 for this iron atom.
