It depends on what atom it is...
If it is a Hydrogen atom, it is 1
If it is a Helium atom, it is 2
...
Find the element you want on the Periodic Table of Elements, and there should be two numbers by that element. The smaller of the two numbers tells you the number of protons that the element has.

∙ 15y agoThe number of protons in an Atom's nucleus are found by observing the atomic number at the top of an element on the periodic table for one atom of it's element.
For example: Oxygen has 8 protons in it's nucleus shell.

the number of protons will depend on the atom and will vary from element to element
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe number of protons in each element is equal to the atomic number which is the top bolded number in each elements box.

What is the atomic number always equal to?
The number of protons in the nucleus of each atom that has the atomic number.
What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
Its atomic number. In other words the number of positive protons in the nucleus of each atom and the number of negative electrons surrounding the nucleus of each atom.
6 The atomic number of oxygen is 8 because oxygen has?
The atomic number of oxygen is 8 because oxygen has 8 protons in its nucleus.The atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is always the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and identical to the charge number of the nucleus. It is conventionally represented by the symbol Z.The Atomic Number is a count of how many Protons are present in an atom of an element.The element Oxygen has 8 Protons in its atomic nucleus and therefore has an Atomic Number of 8.Note: in an electrically neutral atom the number of electrons in the electron cloud exactly matches the number of Protons in the nucleus of the atom, therefore electrically neutral oxygen will also have 8 electrons.
What does an element's atomic number tell us?
The atomic number is the number of protons that the element has.
A(n) is described as a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by an electron cloud.?
Atomic number is the equivalent of the number of protons in an atomic nucleus.
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is the?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is the Atomic number.
What does the atomis number tell you?
Is the number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number
What is the particle that identifies a atom?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its chemical identity.
Number of electrons and protons in a nucleus?
The number of protons in a nucleus depends on which element it is. ( The number of protons is the decider as to which element it is. ) The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, but none of the electrons are in the nucleus. Rather, they orbit around the nucleus like planets round a star.
How did you find out protons are in the nucleus?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is equal to atomic number.
Protons in the nucleus?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is equal to the atomic number of an element.
What is the correspondent to the number of protons inside the atomic nucleus?
The number of protons in the nucleus is the same as the atomic number.
What is the atomic number of an elements based on?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Can the nucleus hold two or more protons?
A nucleus contain protons and neutrons. A nucleus can hold more protons - the number is equal to atomic number.
How do you find the number of protons in an elements nucleus?
The number of protons in an elements nucleus is the same number at the atomic number.
The number is the number of protons in the nucleus?
atomic number is the number of protons
What determines an attoms atomic number?
The number of protons.
