Which atomic particle determines the name of the element you build?
a: electrons
b: protons
c: neutrons
d: protons and elelctons

Hey there!

Protons determine the name of the element you build.

Protons are the particle that determines many things about the element.

The number of protons is the atomic number of an element, which is found on the periodic table.

Hope this helps!

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
