What number is the number protons an element has?

Answer 1

There are many different types of elements, all varying in the number of protons they contain. To determine the number of protons in a specific element, refer to the Periodic Table of elements. The atomic number (generally listed above the element's symbol, sometimes represented as 'Z') is equal to the number of protons in that atom.

Answer 2

The number of protons in any element can be found based on the atomic number. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. For instance, lithium has an atomic number of three and therefore has three protons.

Answer 3

The number of protons in an atom is also known as the atomic number. Atomic number is specific for each element and corresponds to the charge of an atom. For example, Carbon has 6 protons within its nucleus and therefore its atomic number is 6. Potassium, K, has 19 protons and there for the atomic number is 19.

Answer 4

Each chemical element has a specific number of protons; the number of protons is equal to atomic number of the element.

Answer 5

It depends on the atomic number of the element. For example: if the element was hydrogen its atomic number is one and it has 1 proton atomic number = number of protons

Answer 6

each electron has a different amount of protons

Answer 7

The number of protons in each atom of an element is the same as the atomic number of the element.

Answer 8

That depends on which element.

Each element has an atomic number, that number is the number of protons within an atom of that element.

Answer 9

The number of protons vary for one element to another. There are 112 elements known. Each element has a fixed number of protons and as the number of proton changes the element changes.

Answer 10

It depends on which element you mean
