A group (also known as a family) is a vertical column in the Periodic Table of the chemical elements and the group number tells you what group it is in.

Can an atomic number tell you how many protons an atom has?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
What does the group tell us about the structure of the atom?
Atoms in the same group have similar structures.
What does the subscript in a formula tell you?
number of each atom
What does the number of protons in an atom also tell you?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom tell you which element you are dealing with. It is the number of protons in an atomic nucleus that determines the elemental identity. Only that. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons you will find in the nucleus of every atom of that element, regardless of the number of neutrons or electrons involved.
What do the subscript numbers represent in a chemical formula?
They tell you how often an atom - or a group of atoms - are repeated.
What does the group number of the periodic table tell you about the structure of an atom?
the group number,element in some way describes the number of valence electrons or the property that they exhibit
What does atomic number tell you?
Tell you the number of protons and electrons in an atom
What do the atomic number and the mass number tell you about the atom?
the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
What do the atomic number and mass number tell you about the atom?
the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
What does the mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number tells us the number (the sum) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
What does the atomic number of an element tell you about its atom?
It would tell you how many neutrons make up the Nucleus of the atom.
Can an atomic number tell you how many protons an atom has?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
What does the group tell us about the structure of the atom?
Atoms in the same group have similar structures.
What does the atomic mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
What does the atomic mass number an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
What does the atomic number of an atom tell you about it?
It would tell you how many neutrons make up the Nucleus of the atom.
What does the Roman numeral above the group tell us about the structure of the atom?
If you are referring to GROUP NUMBER when you say "Roman numeral above the group", it tells you the number of valence electrons, or the number of outermost electrons, with transition metals being the exception. For group number XII - XVIII the number of valence electrons is the group number minus 10 (minus 10 for the 10 transition groups).
