The atomic number gives you the number of electrons and protons there are in an atom.
ex: Carbon (C) has atomic number 6. So we know that it has 6 protons and 6 electrons

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe atomic number of an atom indicates the number of protons and identifies the element. In a neutral atom, it is also the number of electrons.

Atomic number for ammonia?
Ammonia is a compound. We cant give a atomic number.
What information does the mass number give?
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
What information will an elements atomic number give you?
Atomic no. helps to know 1. the position of element in the periodic table2. Common properties3. Electronic Configuration4. Common electrovalencies and oxidation states.5. Many other properties.
How do you determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons present in an element by identifying its atomic and mass numbers from the periodic table?
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
How can you calculate the number of neutrons N in an atom?
equal to number of protons
The atomic number of carbon is 6.give two pieces of information that this give you about the carbon atom?
12
What information does the atomic number give on the periodic table?
The number of protons an element has.
What is 1 proton 2 neutrons?
<P>proton + neutrons give you a nucleon. the nuceon(or protons +neutron) give you the overall mass of the atom. the mass of electrons is not included, i dont even think that it has mass at all. Hope you're answered?</P>
What give the most information about what kind of element an atom is?
the atomic number <<< apex : )
What information can be found in a square of a periodic table?
You can find the Atomic Number, Atomic Mass, The Element symbol and Name and sometimes, the numbers of the electrons in each shell. (for a Bohr model)Also element symbol can be called atomic symbol.The information is the atomic number, also stands for how many electrons and protons there are in that element, also it tells what the atomic abbreviation is and the real name.Each square on the Periodic Table gives information about an element. On many printed periodic tables we can have atomic number, atomic weight and some other properties like melting and boiling points may also be included.the atomic number and the atomic mass. the atomic number tells you how many neutrons and electrons are in the atom, and the atomic mass tells you the combined amount of protons and neutrons and that element. there is also the symbol of the element, which is the symbol for it's name, and most tables provide the name of the elements.Most basic periodic tables contain four pieces of information for each element: the element's name, symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass. For example, the first element would have an "H", the name Hydrogen, a number 1, and a number 1.0079. H is hydrogen's symbol. The 1 is hydrogen's atomic number, which is the number of protons its nucleus. The 1.0079 is hydrogen's atomic mass.More detailed periodic tables may include number of valence electrons, electron configuration, electronegativity, ionization energy, and other properties.It varies depending on which table you use. A general table will give you the atomic number, element symbol, and atomic mass.The periodic table contains several pieces of information about each element. The element's square on the table includes its atomic symbol, atomic number, and atomic weight.Each square represents the name of the element, the atomic number, and the atomic mass of the element.
What information does the atomic number of an element give you?
The atomic number is how many protons there are, and since the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, it is also the number of electrons. You can take the number of protons away from the atomic weight (overall weight) which will give you the number of neutrons. (Electrons don't weigh anything in the atomic weight so you don't need to subtract this as well). Hope this helps :D

The number of protons and neutrons in an atom?
Depends on the atom. The atomic number will give you the number of protons. The atomic weight will give you approximately the number of protons and neutrons combined.
Does the number of electrons in an atom give its atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
Can you give a sentence using the word Atomic Number?
The atomic number of helium is one. And also the atomic number appears on my screen when I talk, or say a number.
Does number of electrons in an atom give it atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
