Answer:

An atoms identity is defined by it's number of protons.

Explanation:

Neutrons do not define the identity of an atom, protons do. An element is defined by it's atomic number, Z, which is also the number of protons in an atom of that element.

Answer:

It is not possible to accurately identify an element given only the number of neutrons. All atoms are made of three particles: electrons, protons and neutrons. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons if the atom is uncharged.

1.00 L of a gas at STP is conpressed to 473 mL. what is the new pressure of the gas? STP = 0.0°C or 1.0 atm.
vovangra [49]
473 mL= 0.473 L
P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}&#10;&#10;1 atm*1.00L=P_{2}*0.473 L&#10;&#10;P_{2}=  \frac{1 atm*1L}{0.473L} = 2.11 atm&#10;&#10;P_{2}=2.11 atm
