The number of protons in an element is its "atomic number" as listed in the Periodic Table. (e.g. helium has 2 protons, lithium has 3)
An uncharged atom will also have that number of electrons (otherwise it is an ion). For heavier elements, the number of neutrons may vary (isotopes), but not the number of protons in the atom.
What else can I help you with?
What element has the proton of 15?
The element with a proton number of 15 is Phosphorus; P
What subatomic particle is related the atomic number of an element?
protons, no. of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element.
Atomic number is equaled to what on the periodic table?
Atomic number is the bottom number on an element in the periodic table. It is the proton number, so tells you how much protons are in an element. EXTRA: you can find the neutron number by subtracting the mass number from the proton number.
Which element has the smallest number of proton in the atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
Which element has the smallest number of proton in its atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
What could be the proton number of an element that has three unpaired electrons in each of its atoms?
The proton number of an element is equal to its atomic number. If an element has three unpaired electrons in each of its atoms, it means that it has three unpaired electrons in its outermost shell, indicating that it belongs to group 13 of the periodic table. Therefore, the proton number of this element would be 13, which corresponds to the element aluminum.
How do you determine the number of neutron in any element?
Find the weight on the periodic table then subtract the proton numbers.
The element with a proton number 12 has similar chemical properties to the element with the proton number?
It has similar properties to the element with proton number 20, which is calcium.
What is the relationship of the proton number to the elements identity?
The proton number, or atomic number, is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, and it determines the element's identity. Each element has a unique atomic number, so elements are defined by the number of protons they possess.
The atomic number of an element is the number of which subatomic particle?
Proton
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
If you add a proton to an element what happens to it?
Adding a proton to an element changes its atomic number, resulting in a new element. This can affect its chemical properties and reactivity.
