Yes, it is.
The type of atom is defined by the atomic number.
Usually, when an atom undergoes a chemical reaction, only the sharing/possession of electrons changes, and the number of protons (and so the atomic number of the element) stays the same.
When an atom somehow undergoes a nuclear reaction, which is possible, the number of protons sometimes do change, but in that case the atomic number (and thus the element type) becomes different as well.
What else can I help you with?
What is the atomic number always equal to?
The atomic number reflects the charge number of the nucleus. It is always equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
What does the atomic number always equal inside an atom?
Atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an atom.
What is the number of protons always equivalent to?
For a chemical element the number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
Number of protons inside the atomic nucleus?
Number of protons is always equal to the atomic number of an element. Example-at.no. Of hydrogen is one so it has one proton
What is the atomic number also equal to?
The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.
What atomic particle is equal to its atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an atom
What atomic number always equal to the total number of?
Electrons or Protons. As they are effectively equal in no in a neutral atom.
Atomic number is equal to?
no of the protons or the no of electron is equal to the atomic no denoted by the symbol Z
What is equal the number of protons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
Does the number of protons in an atom of an element always equal its atomic weight?
atomic weight = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
What is the atomic number of an atom with 16 protons?
16 The atomic number of an element is always the same as the number of protons in an atom of the element.
