Yes since for atoms to be of the same element , they must have the same number of protons inside their nucleus . This means that 1- they will all have the same nucleon number ( mass number ) and that 2-they will all have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell which determines the chemical properties of the atom.

Answer : (C) Hafnium is the most likely identity of the given substance.

Solution : Given,

Mass of given substance (m) = 46.9 g

Volume of given substance (V) = 3.5 $Cm^{3}$

First, find the Density of given substance.

Formula used :

$Density=\frac{\text{Mass of given substance}}{\text{Voume of given substance}}$

Now,put all the values in this formula, we get

$Density=\frac{46.9 g}{3.5 Cm^{3} }$ = 13.4 g/ $Cm^{3}$

So, we conclude that the density of given substance (13.4 g/ $Cm^{3}$ ) is approximately equal to the density of Mercury and Hafnium (13.53 and 13.31 g/ $Cm^{3}$ respectively).

According to the question the substance is solid at room temperature but Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, Mercury is not identical to the given substance.

Another element i.e, Hafnium is the element whose density is approximately equal to the given substance and also solid at room temperature. And we know that the melting point of solid is high.

So, Hafnium is the most likely element which is the identity of the given substance.
