Proton number
The proton number is the atomic number.
Elements are scientificaly organised according to their Proton numbers. Those with smaller proton numbers come first.
You need to clarify this question. Do you mean, "How is the number of protons determined in the periodic table of the elements?"
Iodine has 53 protons.
Elements with a lower proton number than fluorine on the periodic table include elements such as helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and neon. These elements have fewer protons in their nucleus than fluorine, which has 9 protons. The proton number, also known as the atomic number, determines the identity of an element on the periodic table.
Well, when two elements have the same number of protons, they are atoms of the same element. Each element has its unique proton number. If an atom has 1 atom, it is called Hydrogen. If it has 2, it is called Helium. If it has 20, it is called Calcium. However, the number of neutrons may differ. For example, in the case of Hydrogen, it may have no neutron, 1 neutron or 2 neutrons, and still be called Hydrogen. However, they are called 'isotopes', meaning members of the same element(same number of proton), but having different neutron numbers.
Elements are listed by the number of protons they contain starting with Hydrogen which has one proton.
isobars are elements with same mass numbers (Atomic Mass) and different atomic number (number of proton or electron)
The proton number is also known as the atomic number when referring to the periodic table. It represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines its chemical properties and its unique place on the periodic table.
NO!!! Elements in a Period are arranged by Atomic No. / Proton No. If we take PERIOD 1. . the two elements are Hydrogen and Helium, in that order. H**ydrogen , Hel**ium are NOT in alphabetical order.
