Symbol Z comes from the German word Zahl 'number',
The atomic number is denoted by the letter "Z" and the mass number is denoted by the letter "A" in isotopic notation of atoms.
There are no real reason why it is denoted by z, but that the real number axis is denoted by x, imaginary number is denoted by y, the real part of a complex number is denoted by a, the imaginary part of a complex number is denoted by b, so there is z left.
The number of protons in a nucleus of an atom constitutes the proton number or atomic number of that element and is denoted as Z. For example, helium has atomic mass of 4 and atomic number of 2, thereby having two protons.
The abbreviation for atomic number is "Z."
Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons. because the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons only, the sum of protons and neutrons is the total number of ALL the nucleons. note the term "ALL" here.. this is the reason why mass number is denoted as "A".
Atomic mass is the number of protons present in the nucleus or number of electrons revolving around the nucleus in an atom .It is denoted by Z. Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus in an atom .It is denoted by A.
no of the protons or the no of electron is equal to the atomic no denoted by the symbol Z
The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. The letter "Z" is often used to symbolize the atomic number of an element in chemistry. The specific atomic number of an element would depend on which element is being referenced.
Z is the atomic number in Chemistry and Physics.
It is the number of protons contained with the nucleus, this defines which element it is. If the atom has neutral charge then it will also be equivalent to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
The number of electrons should balance the number of protons, which is denoted by the atomic number.
The atomic number (Z) above each atomic symbol in the periodic table represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It determines an element's identity and its unique position in the periodic table. Elements are arranged in increasing atomic number from left to right on the periodic table.
