The atomic # is the same as the number of protons
u sure can
A proton is a single positive charge in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons determine what the atom is. Hydrogen has one proton, compared to eight for oxygen.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the identity of the element.
On a periodic table, each symbol has 2 numbers next to it. The top number is the mass number and the bottom number is the proton number.
Find the weight on the periodic table then subtract the proton numbers.
Subtract the proton number or atomic number (11) from the nucleon number or the atomic mass (23) and you get the number of neutrons = '''12'''.
The proton number is the atomic number.
atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons
One way is to consult a copy of "The Periodic Table of the Elements". Great Q'n!
iron has 26 protons
We don't use a atomic number for a proton. But atomic number is the number of protons an atom contains.
The protons of an element determine the atomic number, also known as the proton number. Do not confuse this with mass number which is the number of protons and neutrons.
