The number equal to the total number of protons in the element

Atomic number:

It is the following number in the Periodic Table, and by definition equal to the number of protons of the atom of that unique element.

Example:

  • Hydrogen, atom symbol H, number 1, protons: 1
  • Carbon, atom symbol C, number 6, protons: 6
  • Uranium, atom symbol U, number 92, protons: 92

Is atomic mass number of protons or number of electrons if a neutral atom?

Neither, except for the anomalous hydrogen-1 isotope. The atomic mass number of an atom is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the atom.
