the atomic number is the number of protons of an element. The atomic number specifically identifies an element. You can find it on the Periodic Table of Elements.
WHICH numbers? The most prominent one is probably the average atomic mass, but it might be the atomic number.
well i know one it is the elemental (atomic) Number don't remember the top number
If you mean "how does one determine an atoms atomic mass?", then the answer would be to find a periodic table of elements where the whole numbers indicate atomic number and the other indicating atomic mass. Atomic number is generally described as the number of protons in a naturally occurring atom of a given element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons + number of neutrons in an atom.
Platinum has an atomic number of 78. If you increase the atomic number by one, you find Gold, with an atomic number of 79.
Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.
Yes. On the Periodic Table, it's the first element listed due to the fact it has only one electron and one proton.
There are a number of places where one could find the atomic clock time, particularly online. Websites that can help one sync an atomic clock include World Time Server, and more information can be found on About.
This one is based one uranium. It is a radioactive one. Uraniums atomic number of that is 92.
Atomic number is equal to number of protons.
valence electrons is the same as the number as the last digit in the group :)
Okay, here is a simple way to find the atomic number, Count the protons or if you want a more techical way. Take the total mass of the nucleus minus the mass of all the neutrons then divide the rest of the mass by the mass of one proton.
To find out how many neutrons are in any element, you must take the atomic mass of the element and subtract the atomic number/ the number of protons. # of neutrons = atomic mass - # of protons This is because the atomic mass of an element is the number of protons added to the number of neutrons. The atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units, where one proton has a mass of 1 amu and one neutron has a mass of 1 amu. Elements also have electrons, however their mass is negligible, which means that it can be ignored because it is minor. In the case of iodine, it's atomic mass is approximately 127 (126.9). It's atomic number, which is also the number of protons and the number of electrons, is 53. Thus, the number of neutrons is: 127 - 53 = 74
