Ryan wants to identify an element. which piece of information would best ryan identify the element? a. how many neutrons the element has b. how many electrons the element has c. how many protons the element has d. what charge the element ha

The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation:

There are 3 subatomic particles: Neutrons, protons and electrons.

Element is identified by its atomic number. Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

If one, identifies the number of protons, then the element is easily identified. Electrons on the other hand are easy to remove or add, so it is not convenient to use the number of electrons in identifying the element.

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

it's filtration, but this is an assumption so my apologies if i got this
