That number is based upon the number of protons found in the nucleus. -See the related link liste dbelow for more information.
(It is not the number at which the atom may be reached...)

Ex; Salt is a compound (mixture). It's made of Sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl). Sodium and chloride are both separate elements. Salt is made of a certain type of atom and chloride is made with a different type.
