Why are protons in an atom so important? Question 8 options: There are more protons than electrons or neutrons in a neutral atom. Protons determine the atoms' identity (type of element) and where it is located on the periodic table. Protons determine an atom's chemical properties and how it will react with other elements. Protons are bigger than all the other particles in an atom.

The answer is the second option "Protons determine the atom's identity (type of element) and where it is located on the periodic table." Protons determine the element if the number of protons kept changing then the element would keep changing and there would be no use for the periodic table. Electrons have the same amount of protons and neutrons are determined by subtracting the atomic mass to the atomic number.

Hope this helps!
