The amount of protons in an atom is the atomic?
The amount of protons in an atom is its atomic number
What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
What equals the amount of protons in an atom?
Yes
The number of electrons in an atom of an element is the same as the element's?
In an atom, the number of protons is the same number as the atomic number.
What is the difference the atomic number of 6 of an atom and it's mass number?
If the atomic number of an atom is 6 it means that the atom has 6 protons, the mass number on the other hand is the total amount of protons and neutrons in the atom. ( Remember- the amount of protons equals the amount of electrons). So for example if you wanted to find out the amount of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass for the answer. (Whole-protons=neutrons)
What atom number tells how many of these particles are in an atom?
The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
The atomic number stands for the number of what?
the amount of protons in an atom
What makes an atom unique?
Its atomic number. It tells you the number of protons it has. Each atom has its own unique amount of protons. The protons identify the element.
What do protons equal on the periodic table?
In an atom of an element, the amount of protons in that atom equal the amount of electrons in the atom, but only if it is a neutral atom. That then eqals the atomic number of that element.
What gives you the amount of protons in an atom?
The atomic number.
What is the number of protons and electrons of berrylium?
The atomic number of beryllium is 4. The atomic number of an atom says how many protons are in that atom. In an unionized atom, the protons and electrons are the same amount. Beryllium (unionized) has 4 electrons and 4 protons.
