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.

∙ 11y agoYes. The Atomic Number is also known as the Proton Number, the atomic number is the same as the amount of protons in the atom.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt tells you about the number of electrons in atomand thus indirectly determines the atomic no. of the atom.
this is because the no. of protons and nuetrons in an atom are equal.

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 atomis number tell you?
Is the number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number
What does the atomic number tell you besides the number of protons in one atom of an element?
There are three main parts to an Atom. The atom comprises of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The location of each are Protons and Neutrons at the core, and Electrons in the shell **oribits around the core.** Protons and Neutrons are equal in amount unless the atom/element is an isotope.
Does the periodic table tell you the number of protons?
The Periodic Table tells you how many protons are in an atom by their Elemental Number. In other words, yes, the Periodic Table tells you how many protons are in an atom.
How much protons are in oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 protons. The number of protons tell you which number the atom is in the periodic table, so you can just look at the periodic table and the element's number to find out how many protons it has.
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.
The atomic number of an atom indicates the number of?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. In the case of a neutral atom (as opposed to an ion), the atomic number is also equal to the total number of electrons.
What does atomic number tell you?
Tell you the number of protons and electrons in an atom
What does the atomic number tells you?
The atomic number tells you how many protons and electrons are in a specific element.Atomic number tells us about protons. Number of protons that atom contains.
What does an element's atomic number tell us?
The atomic number is the number of protons that the element has.
What does the atomis number tell you?
Is the number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number
What is the atomic number of an element?
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.
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 atomic number of a element tell you?
No. of protons in the atom.
What does the protons and neutrons tell you about the oxygen atom?
protons will tell the atomic number (8) the sum of protons and neutrons will give the mass number of the element
How can you tell if an atom is an ion?
If the number of protons and neutrons are the same, its an atom, if not its an ion
