    Protons

    Explanation:

    There are three major sub-automatic particles to consider here

    1) Proton

    2) Electrons

    3) Nucleons

    Two atom with same protons and electrons but different nucleons are called isotopes of the same element, hence the nucleon doesn't affect the identity of an element

    Two atoms with same proton and nucleon but different electrons are usually a stable atom and an ion, both of the same elements, hence election number does not define the identity of the element

    Two atoms with different proton numbers, no matter the electron and nucleon number will always be different elements
