Protons = atomic number
EX: Nitrogen has 7 protons
the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. it is also the atomic number
Mass number will help you. Mass number is the total of neutrons and protons.
The atomic number IS the number of protons. if you are given the mass number, then subtract the number of protons from it.
Look at it's atomic number. That shows the number of protons it contains
Number of neutrons + Number of protons
Yes, you can by the atomic number. The atomic number of zinc is 30, so zinc has 30 protons.
Silicon has 14. Germanium has 32. You figure it out.
To determine the charge of an atom, you count the number of protons in the nucleus. This number represents the positive charge of the atom, as protons are positively charged particles.
The periodic number of an element signifies its number of protons. Hydrogen, the first element, has one proton. Helium, the second element, has two protons. Lithium, the third element, has three protons. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
If there are more electrons than protons, then the ion charge is negative. If there are more protons than elections, then the ion charge is positive.
Look at its atomic number in a periodic table.
Find the atomic number. That tells you the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom). Then find the atomic weight. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons will equal the atomic weight. So if you know the wt. just subtract the number of protons and you will have the number of neutrons.
