the identity of
on element​

Answer 1

USE YOUR OWN WORDS SO IT DOESN'T LOOKED LIKE YOU CHEATED!

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number (Z). This is the defining trait of an element: Its value determines the identity of the atom. For example, any atom that contains six protons is the element carbon and has the atomic number 6, regardless of how many neutrons or electrons it may have.
