How is an atoms atomic number related to it's number of protons to electrons?
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. The number of electrons will equal the number of protons in that atom if that atom is a neutral one. Other than that, we would have to know the atomic number (which is the number of protons that atom has), and the overall charge of the atom. With that information, we could discover how many electrons that atom had by simple mathematics. If an atom had 11 protons and a charge of +1, it would have one less electron than the number of protons, or 10 electrons. If an atom had 53 protons and a charge of -1, it would have 54 electrons. The ratio from atomic number to the number of protons in an atom is 1:1. The elements are categorized by the number of protons they have, as that is the difference between two elements. Conceptually, atomic number and proton number are the same.
What is the meant by atomic number?
The number equal to the total number of protons in the elementAtomic 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: 1Carbon, atom symbol C, number 6, protons: 6Uranium, atom symbol U, number 92, protons: 92
Number of protons in a an atom of an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number.
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to which of the following?
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the particle that identifies a atom?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its chemical identity.
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
What is the atomic number of an atom determained by the number of what?
The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons it has.
What does the number of protons do to the atom?
The atom identity is given by the number of protons.
What atomic number of an atom reveals the number of?
The atomic number of an atom is its number of protons. For instance, a hydrogen atom has an atomic number of one, meaning there is one proton in one hydrogen atom. Also, as there are the same number of protons as there are electrons in a neutral atom, the atomic number can also be thought of as the number of electrons in an atom, as long as the atom's neutral.
What you the relationship between the number of protons and the atomic number of an atom?
The number of protons is the atomic number.
How do you know how many protons an atom has by looking at a picture of it?
The number of protons in an element is the same as its atomic number. Hydrogen (atomic number 1) has 1 proton. Gold (79) has 79 protons, and so on. The number of neutrons is the same as its atomic number.
Every atom of what has 6 protons?
Element
