The number of protons in a nucleus depends on the specific atom. In the periodic table of elements, the number of protons a given element has is equal to its atomic number.

The number of protons. This is given by the atomic number.
Atoms of elements are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons is always the same for every atom of a given element. Thus, the number of electrons is also constant for a pure element (which is electrically neutral). However, the number of neutrons can vary; this variation leads to what are known as isotopes.

They are called as isotopes of the given element.

Dear Wiki Questioner, The atomic number of an element is defined to be the number of protons its nucleus! Since the most useful characteristics of an element are the result of the number of protons it has, the scientific community chose to order the elements primarily based off of how many protons they contain. So that means that when we are given an atomic number, we automatically are given the number of protons it contains!
Each atom of one specific element has the same number of protons. For example, Helium has 1 proton in every atom's nucleus. To find how many protons are in an elements atoms nucleus, look at the elements atomic number on the Periodic Table.
