atomic number tells us the number of protons and electrons in the given atom. As Atomic No. = no. of protons = No. of electrons
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
The group number tells you the number of valence electrons present.
The group number tells you the number of valence electrons present.
The period tells you how many energy levels an atom has.
atomic number tells us the number of protons and electrons in the given atom. As Atomic No. = no. of protons = No. of electrons
The atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
the periodic number tells you the number of electrons and protons.
To find this out, we'll look at a period table to find chlorine's atomic number. This tells us its number of protons, which, as it turns out, is 17. We know that protons and electrons carry equal but opposite charges, so to balance the net charge of chlorine back to 0, it must have 17 electrons.
The number of electrons should balance the number of protons, which is denoted by the atomic number.
it tells you the number of protons and electrons
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus. As such, it defines the element, since each element has a definite and defined number of protons. In the element, it also tells you the number of electrons, since the element (not the ion) has a neutral charge and protons = electrons.
The atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
The group number tells you the number of valence electrons present.
