Question

question: which subatomic particle is responsible for the identity of an element? experiment by adding and removing electrons, neutrons, and protons. observe if the identity (name) of the element changes when you add each of the different subatomic particles. 5. identify the subatomic particle(s) responsible for an atoms identity. neutrons electrons protons submit answer 0 / 1 submissions used score: 0/1

Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, known as the atomic number, determines the element's identity. Changing the number of neutrons creates isotopes and changing electrons forms ions, but only changing protons changes the element.

Answer:

Protons
