The distinguishing subatomic partical of an atom is its proton(s). The atomic number (amu) of an element is equal to the number of protons it has. Therefore if you know the number of protons in a given atom you can identify which element th...

The number of protons in an atom determines the identity of the element. If there is one proton, then it is hydrogen. If there are more, it is a different element. Electrons simply control charge, and neutrons (without getting deeper) simpl...

Non-being is the void, or empty space, and being is the “indivisible”, or in Greek “atomai”, or atoms. The atom is the indivisible particle that is a pure quantity, not a quality. What distinguishes one atom from another (ie air from fire) is quantity and shape (like Pythagoras, ... On the subatomic level,

The behavior of a particle or group of particles, such as an atom or a house, determines whether it is a fermion ... All atoms contain electrons, and the behavior of electrons in atoms distinguishes one type of atom from another. When atoms radioactively decay, they sometimes emit an electron in a process called beta decay.
