ATOMIC NUMBER
It indicates the protons. Periodic table is based on atomic number.
The atomic number is the number of protons: 19.number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 21.The number of electrons is normally the same as the number of protons: 19
An atom with an atomic number of 9 means it has 9 protons. The atomic mass of 19 indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, so if the atom has 9 protons, the remaining mass comes from neutrons (19-9=10 neutrons).
An atom with atomic number 50 contains 50 protons. The mass number of 125 indicates the total number of protons and neutrons combined, so subtracting the number of protons (50) from the mass number gives 75 neutrons.
The atomic number IS the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.
There are 4 protons in 9Be. All isotopes and ions of the same elements will have the same number of protons regardless of the difference in the number of neutrons or electrons. So the information about which isotope is (by saying Be-9) is unneeded.
The atomic number organizes the elements and also tells you how many protons there are in an element. So, oxygen would have 8 protons.The atomic number of oxygen 8 indicates that there are eight protons.
An atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons, and the number of protons determines what element it is.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element.
The atomic number gives you the number of electrons and protons there are in an atom. ex: Carbon (C) has atomic number 6. So we know that it has 6 protons and 6 electrons
Since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons in the atom, which is the definition of atomic number. Therefore, there are 9 electrons.
An atom's atomic number gives us its number of protons. Carbon's atomic number is 6. Thus, it has 6 protons.
