What is the atomic number of calcium and what does that number tell you about an atom of calcium?
7.39g
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 the atomic number tell us?
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons determines the identity of an element and its properties. Hope this helps :3
What does the atomic number tell you about an element?
The number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of the element.
What does the atomic number of silver tell you about?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. In electrically neutral atoms, the number is also equal to the amount of electrons orbiting around the nucleus of the atom. The higher the atomic number the heavier the atom. The atomic number of silver is 47 and therefore number of protons/electrons is 47. It has 67 neutrons.
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
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 atomic number tell about an atom of that element?
Atomic number = Number of protons
What does the atomic number of an element tell you about that atom?
Atomic number = Number of protons
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.
What does atomic number tell you?
Tell you the number of protons and electrons in an atom
Does the atomic number tell you what the element of the atom is?
yes
What does the atomic number of a element tell you?
No. of protons in the atom.
What do the atomic number and atomic mass tell you about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for atomic mass.
What is the atomic number of magnesium what does the number tell you?
The atomic number of magnesium is 12. The atomic number is equivalent to the number of protons and electrons in the 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.
