The atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
The atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
It tells you (1) how many protons are in the element, and (2) what the element is since all atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.It's D. The number of protons in its atoms.It tells how many protons/electrons that element has.
It tells you (1) how many protons are in the element, and (2) what the element is since all atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.It's D. The number of protons in its atoms.It tells how many protons/electrons that element has.
It describe the Number of Protons.
the atomic mass, which is the mass of its protons and neutrons and electrons together
Not really. You'd have to find the number of electrons first. Then do subtraction.The atomic number tells you how many protons and electrons the element contains
Element X with 72 protons will have 72 electrons in a neutral state. The number of protons in an element is equal to the number of electrons in that element's neutral atom.
24 electrons, remember the atomic number of an element tells you how many protons it has. The number of protons = the number of electrons (if the atom isnt charged)
The atomic number also tells you the number of electrons in a neutral atom of the element. Additionally, it determines the position of the element in the periodic table and helps to identify the element uniquely based on its number of protons.
5 protons and 5 electrons
The element lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons.
The atomic number refers to how many protons in the nucleus and thus how many electrons are in orbit.
