Yes, it is true.
Z, or the atomic number, represents the number of protons in a element as opposed to A, which is the mass number, the number of protons and neutrons.
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an element.
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is the Atomic number.
No. Atomic number refers to the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom whereas mass number refers to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. For example, the isotope lithium-6 has an atomic number of 3 (for 3 protons) and a mass number of 6 (for 3 protons and 3 neutrons).
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in its nucleus.
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its chemical identity.
The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons it has.
The atomic number reflects the charge number of the nucleus. It is always equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
The atomic number refers to how many protons in the nucleus and thus how many electrons are in orbit.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
The atomic number of an element accounts for the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element. For example: * Hydrogen atomic number is one. The nucleus of its atom has one proton. * Oxygen atomic number is 8. The nucleus of its atom has 8 protons. * Iron atomic number is 26. The nucleus of its atom has 26 protons. * Lead atomic number is 82. The nucleus of its atom has 82 protons. * Uranium atomic number is 92. The nucleus of its atom has 92 protons.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element.
