atomic number
If a new element is added under francium in the periodic table, its atomic number would be 119. Francium has an atomic number of 87, so the next element in the periodic table would be the one with an atomic number of 88, which is radium. The subsequent element would have an atomic number of 119.

Elements and atomic number
Atomic mass is found on the periodic table as the weighted average of all isotopes of an element. Atomic number is also found on the periodic table and represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. You can use the periodic table to easily find both atomic mass and atomic number for each element.
Toward the top and left of the table.
subtract the atomic number (#of protons, it's on ur periodic table) from the atomic mass (it's usually a decimal, also on ur periodic table.) this will give u the number of neutrons. the atomic mass is PROTONS + NEUTRONS
how would the modern Periodic Table be different if elements were arranged by average Atomic Mass instead of by atomic number
There are 117 elements on the periodic table, however, there is one blank spot that lies on the periodic table of elements, it has the atomic number of 117. If it were discovered, there would be 118 elements on the periodic table of elements.
That would be Mendelevium, of atomic number 101. Named after Dmitri Mendeleev.
His table was sorted by atomic mass, not atomic number. (the way today's periodic table is sorted) Mendeleev was almost right, but they did not know about protons at the time. (atomic number is the number of protons in an element) There would have been absolutely no way of him figuring out they were related to atomic number if he didn't even know about atomic number
