∙ 13y agoIt has 53 protons. In isotopes, the proton number does not change. Only the number of neutrons changes.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons one of its atoms has. In this case, 53 is the atomic number, which corresponds to Iodine.

Wiki User
∙ 11y ago53: The atomic number of an element is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the element.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe atomic number is the number of protons, so the atomic number is 54, and this is the element xenon, Xe.
