What else can I help you with?
What do you notice about the atomic number and the total number of electrons in an atom of that element?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom, which also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. This means that the atomic number gives you the total number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.
The number of protons contained in each element gives that element what number?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an element gives that element its ATOMIC NUMBER.
How do you calculate protons and electrons?
Refer to the Periodic Table to find an element's atomic number. This gives the proton number of that element, as well as the number of electrons (assuming the atom is neutral). For example, carbon has an atomic number of 6, which means it has six protons, and - when neutral - 6 electrons, as well.
What gives an element it's atomic number?
Atomic number is the number of protons (i.e. equal to the number of electrons) of an atom.
How do you determine how many protons are in an element?
The number of protons in an element is determined by its atomic number, which is the whole number found on the periodic table for each element. Each element has a unique number of protons that gives it its specific identity.
What two pieces of information does the atomic number give?
The atomic number gives you the number of electrons and protons there are in an atom. ex: Carbon (C) has atomic number 6. So we know that it has 6 protons and 6 electrons
Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of what?
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
What tells the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element?
The atomic number of the element refers to the number of protons of an atom: all atoms of an element have this number of protons. A neutral atom of the element will have the same number of electrons.
Does the mass number equal the same number of electrons?
The atomic mass number does not equal the number of electrons in the element. The atomic number, on the other hand, does usually equal the number of electrons in the element, With the exception of ions.
What elements combined atomic number gives 12?
An atomic number goes with a single element notto a combination of elements.
What information about the subatomic makeup of an atom is given by the atomic number?
The atomic number of an atom gives the number of protons in its nucleus, which also determines its unique identity as an element. It also indirectly gives the number of electrons in a neutral atom, as the number of protons is balanced by the number of electrons in the atom.
What is the atomic number on the periodic table?
The atomic number on the periodic table is the number of protons for the element.
