They are the same
An element is defined by the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic number just happens to correspond with the number of protons.
The atomic number increases, because as you move from top to bottom, you are adding protons to the nucleus, and atomic number is the number of protons.
Protons are subatomic particles that determine the atomic number of an element. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is what defines its atomic number; this uniquely identifies each element on the periodic table.
the answer is that it is called a atomic number.
no, the atomic number, for the most part, is how much protons and electrons there are. The number of neutrons is determined when you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. When chemical bonding happens however, the number of electrons and protons could differ.
The number of protons is the atomic number.
The atomic number is the number of protons.
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.
The Atomic Number is the number of protons. The Atomic Mass Number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons of a particular isotope.neutrons and protons
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. So the atomic number is 16.
The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.
i dont think this question makes sense
