The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in each atom of the element, whether neutral or not. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons in the atom is the same as the number of protons.
The atomic number tells you how many protons are in an atom. This number is not equal to the number of protons or electrons. Therefore, the atomic number is the same for an ion of an element as well as the neutral atom.
the atomic number represents its "weight". for example oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and it has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 8 neutrons ( the neutral part)
There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.
The atomic number tells you the number of protons that an element has. An electrically neutral atom necessarily has the same number of electrons as it has protons.
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
The atomic number is the count of how many protons an atom has in its nucleus (and therefor also the count of how many electrons the neutral atom possesses). The atomic number is unique for each element and positions the element in the Periodic Table.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. If the atom is neutral, it is also the number of electrons.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. An element that is in its neutral state has the same number of protons and electrons, thus the atomic number can also be used to tell the number of electrons in a non-ionic atom of that element.
atomic number is how much protons(positive atom) and neutrons(neutral atom) are there in an element. therefore an atom does not have an atomic number
There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.
proton
Atomic number of an element is same as the number of protons. It is same as number of electrons in neutral atom.
Look up the atomic number of the element. The atomic number is the number of protons, in a neutral atom this is the same as the number of electrons.
The atomic number tells you the number of protons that an element has. An electrically neutral atom necessarily has the same number of electrons as it has protons.
The Atomic Number of an element is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element and/or the number of electrons a in neutral atom of that element.
The number of protons and electrons of the atom in a neutral state.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
The atomic number is the count of how many protons an atom has in its nucleus (and therefor also the count of how many electrons the neutral atom possesses). The atomic number is unique for each element and positions the element in the Periodic Table.
