What atom number tells how many of these particles are in an atom?

The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only


What is the difference the atomic number of 6 of an atom and it's mass number?

If the atomic number of an atom is 6 it means that the atom has 6 protons, the mass number on the other hand is the total amount of protons and neutrons in the atom. ( Remember- the amount of protons equals the amount of electrons). So for example if you wanted to find out the amount of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass for the answer. (Whole-protons=neutrons)

What do protons equal on the periodic table?

In an atom of an element, the amount of protons in that atom equal the amount of electrons in the atom, but only if it is a neutral atom. That then eqals the atomic number of that element.


The number of electrons in an atom of an element is the same as the element's?

The number of electrons in an atom of an element is the same as the element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which also equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom.


Is the atomic number the same as the number of atoms?
