Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (in the neutral state)
The atomic number of an element equals the number of protons in the element.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.
The number of positively charged particles in atoms of a given element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This number is referred to as the atomic number of the element and it determines the element's identity on the periodic table.
The atomic number is 5becuse it is in the nuclise
There is no element whose symbol is An.
Protons are the subatomic particles represented by the atomic number of an element. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity on the periodic table.
Number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number.
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
The atomic number of an element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, meaning the number of neutral particles (neutrons) can vary. If 42 is your atomic number, you have 42 protons, and the number of neutrons would depend on the specific isotope of the element. For example, if considering molybdenum (atomic number 42), it typically has about 54 neutrons in its most stable isotope.
The number of protons
False; the atomic number is the total number if protons in the nucleus only.
Either the number of protons or the number of electrons in a neutral atom is equivalent to its atomic number.
