Electrons within a pure atom are equal to what?

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This is because in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, which maintains overall electrical neutrality.

The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of?

The atomic number represents the total number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom in that element. A comparison found in an article made in 2024 by Chandler Johnson states, "While the atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom, atomic weight (also called atomic mass) measures the total mass of an atom’s nucleus, which includes both protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons can vary between atoms of the same element, leading to different isotopes with slightly different atomic weights. " Another article by Bathanie Brookshire, while commenting on a chunk of copper, states, "This is the number of protons — positively charged particles — in a single atom. The atomic number identifies an atom as a specific element. Any atom of gold will have 79 protons, for instance. An atom with one more proton is no longer gold. It’s mercury. One less, and it’s platinum. Atomic number also determines the element’s location on the periodic table. Number one is hydrogen." Hope that helps :)
