What is the atomic number if the atom has 6 electrons?
All atoms are neutral (because if they are not, they are called an ion). That means that the atomic number equals the number of electrons (not just the number of protons), therefore the atomic number is 6. Remember that the atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus. Proton count determines atomic number and elemental identity.
why are some atoms of the same element heivier than others?
Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number, but a different number of neutrons giving each elemental isotope a different atomic weight.
