The blank is the particle in the nucleus of the atom that carries a positive charge and is counted to identify the atomic number?
the protons
How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
In an atom the number of electrons must be the same as the number of?
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
Does the number of protons identify an atom as a specific element?
Yes.
What is the atomic number of in atom?
atomic number is how much protons(positive atom) and neutrons(neutral atom) are there in an element. therefore an atom does not have an atomic number
The blank is the particle in the nucleus of the atom that carries a positive charge and is counted to identify the atomic number?
the protons
Does the number of protons in an atom identify an atom of a particular element?
Yes
Is the number of protons the positive charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.

What makes an atom unique?
Its atomic number. It tells you the number of protons it has. Each atom has its own unique amount of protons. The protons identify the element.
What number of protons represents the number of?
positive charge in the atom
In an atom the number of electrons must be the same as the number of?
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
Does the number of protons identify an atom as a specific element?
Yes.
What does the number of protons represent?
positive charge in the atom
The number of protons in an atoms nucleus which serves to identify an atom?
a monkey
What identify the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom.?
The number of protons and electrons is equal to the atomic number in a neutral atom.The number of protons is the mass number minus number of protons.
Is an electrically neutral atom the number of protons equals the number?
An electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons ( positive charged ) and electrons ( negatively charged ).
