Protons and Electrons
It is not the sum of two things, but only the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic mass is the total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus.
Number of protons PLUS number of neutrons.
An element's chemical symbol represents its name (using either one or two letters) and its atomic number (the number of protons in its nucleus).
Helium with two protons and two neutrons has an atomic number of 2, as the atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom.
Atomic mass and atomic number are two different things. Atomic mass is the mass of an atom compared to that of hydrogen. The atomic number is the atom's position in the periodic table. It's also the number of protons it has.
No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.
Elements on the periodic table are usually identified by their atomic number, atomic symbol, and atomic weight. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus, the atomic symbol is a one- or two-letter abbreviation for the element, and the atomic weight represents the average mass of the element's atoms.
From the atomic number of an element, you can learn the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, which determines the element's identity. The atomic number also reveals the placement of the element on the periodic table based on its number of protons, which impacts its chemical properties.
The atomic number is the number of Protons in the nucleus of any particular element. Hydrogen has 1 proton, its atomic number is one; Helium has 2 protons, its atomic number is two; Lithium has 3 protons, its atomic number is three . . . Uranium has Ninety-two protons, its atomic number is 92
The atomic number of the element Helium is two.
"atomic number" is not "the/a" word, it is two words.
the atomic number, the atomic weight, the atomic symbol and atomic name.
