Atomic Number: It is an experimentally determined number characteristic of a chemical element that represents the number of protons in the nucleus which in a neutral atom equals the number of electrons outside the nucleus. Therefore, a neutral atom of Pb (lead) would have 82 protons and 82 electrons.

An atom of lead has 82 protons in its nucleus.

Note, the atomic number of lead is 82 and this number always equals the number of protons in the atomic nucleus (and the number of electrons the neutral atom has).
