The total of number of protons in the nucleas gives you the atomic number.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an element gives that element its ATOMIC NUMBER.
Atomic Number It is thre position of the atom in the periodic table. It is the number of protons in the neucleud. It is the number of electrons in the neutally charged atoms. Atomic MASS it the total of the protons and neutrons in the atom.
It gives the number of neutrons in the particular atom.
The atomic number is determined by the number of protons, which are located in the nucleus.
The number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number. That gives you the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass has nothing to do with it. What is the atomic number? That is your answer.
Atomic number is the number of protons (i.e. equal to the number of electrons) of an atom.
Atomic number. This gives the count of protons in the nucleus and therefore the posiitive charge of the nucleus. For an uncharged atom it therefore gives the total number of electrons in all shells
Mass
The atomic number.
The number of protons gives the atomic number. The number of electrons are equal to the number protons unless the atom is ionized. The number of neutrons determines which isotope you have. Hope that helps
An element's atomic number gives it number of protons. Sulfur's atomic number is 16. Thus, it has 16 protons.
The atomic number denotes the number of protons in an atom where the mass number gives the sum of protons and neutrons.
