Answer:

Protons

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • All atoms of the same element are similar in that they have the same number of protons.
  • Atoms of the same elements may have a different number of electrons or neutrons but will always have the same number of protons.
  • Atoms of the same elements with a different number of neutrons are known as isotopes.
  • When neutral atoms gain or lose electron(s) they form charged atoms known as ions.
