A scientist thinks she has discovered a new element. She took some samples to her colleagues and they performed some tests. Here is what they found: the element is a silver, malleable solid at room temperature the element is not very reactive with metals the element has 4 valence electrons the element has 32 protons in its nucleus Which of the discoveries listed above is the most influential in proving her theory incorrect?

Proton number of the supposed discovery debunked the theory.

Explanation:

Proton number of an element is also its atomic number.

For the element in question to have had a proton number that wasn't 119, it could not have been a new element.

Furthermore, the characteristics described (proton number especially) describe exactly the Germanium element.

I believe this was helpful.
