Positive charged particles in atomic nucleus - protons.
Number of protons = atomic number (The number of a given element in the Mendeleev table)

How is are element and an atom different?
An atom is an individual particle made of protons(positively charged particles), electrons(negatively charged particles) and neutrons(particles with no charge). The type of atom depends on the number of protons in the nucleus(the centre of the atom). An element is all atoms of the same type.
The number of positively charged protons in an atoms nucleus depends on?
It depends upon the element. Each element has a specific number of protons.
What is ment by atomic number?
Atomic Number is the amount of Protons (positively charged subatomic particles) contained in the nucleus of an atom.
Are atoms normally negatively charged?
No, atoms are not normally negatively charged. They are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles). It is possible for atoms or molecules to gain or lose electrons and become positively or negatively charged, but this is not the usual state.
How can you determine the number relate to the protons and electrons of an element?
Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. Each atom has the same number of electrons as protons.
What is the number of positively-charged particles in an atoms called?
Protons

Protrons are particles that are?
Protons are the positively charged particles that are present in the nucleus of the atom and their number determines the atomic number of the atom.
What is it called the total number of the positively charged and the uncharged particles?
number of protons + number of neutrons = mass number
I know an ion is a element with a charge but don't all elements have a charge?
All elements, including iron, exist when pure in an electrically neutral state. This does not mean that the elements can not contain charged particles, but rather that the number of total negatively and total positively charged particles must be the same in a pure element.
The number of positively charged protons in an atoms nucleus depends on?
It depends upon the element. Each element has a specific number of protons.
What does the atomic number of an element specify?
It specifies the number of positively charged protons in the nucleus of each atom.

What are positive particles in the atom?
Protons are the positively charged particles found in the nucleus of the atom.
What does atom have the same number of in an element?
Most atoms, in their most stable form, will have an equal number of Electrons and Protons. (Protons are Positively charged, Electrons are Negatively charged)
