The Atomic Number tells us the position of the element in the Periodic Table.
It also tells us the number of protons and electrons in an atom of that element.
The Atomic Mass/Weight is different. The Atomic Mass is the total numbers of nucleons ( protons and neutrons) in the nucleus of an atom.
For a given element the atomic mass can vary. This is because the nucleus may have a different number of neutrons. These different masses of a given element are named 'Isotopes'.

∙ 16y agoThe atomic number is the number that tells you how many protons and electrons are in an atom of a particular element. For example:
Beryllium: Be- on the periodic table there are two numbers in the box. There is 4 and 9.01218. The 4 is the atomic number. It tells you that there are 4 protons and 4 electrons in this atom. The other number is the atomic weight. This tells you that there are 9.01218 grams of Be per 1 mole of Be. It also tells you that there are about 5 neutrons (9-4=5).
also it means the charges for like an electron

(And because the number of protons in an atom is the same as the number of electrons, it also tells the number of electrons.)

∙ 11y agoThe atomic number (Z) is the the number of positive charges or protons in the nucleus of an atom of a given element, and therefore also the number of electrons normally surrounding the nucleus.

The atomic number tells you the number?
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the associated element.
What tells you the number of protons in the nucleus?
the atomic number in the top left hand corner of the element in the periodic table
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.
The atomic number of silver is 47. What does that tell you about silver?
The atomic number of silver (or the atomic number of anyelement) tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.
The atomic number of atoms reveals the number of?
Atomic number tells you the number of protons. There is no need to define a standard state.
The atomic number tells you the number?

The Atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of atoms of that element.
What can an element's atomic number tell you about its state of matter?
No. the atomic number tells you the number of protons it has.
What do the atomic number and atomic mass tell you about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for atomic mass.
What sub atomic praticle is it that tells you the type of element it is?

Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for Atomic Mass.
Element's atomic number tell about that element?
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of that element.
What is the atomic mass number?
