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 the number of proton neutron and electron be calculated to get atomic number and atomic mass?

atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number


What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in an element?

Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic number - Number of protons


The atomic number of an element is what?

The atomic number of an element is how many protons and electrons (you must have the same amount of protons as electrons) an element has in it's nucleus. The Atomic number= number of protons= number of electrons.


If an f an atom has 36 electrons and 48 neutrons, then what is the atomic number?

Atomic number= 36 atomic number= no. of electrons


The... Is equal to the number of protons in an atom?

Electrons or atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons as well as the principle quantum number.


Nobelium has an atomic number of 102 how many protons and electrons does it have?

Nobelium has 102 protons and 102 electrons, as the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, and in a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.


The atomic number is the same as the number of these particles?

In any atom, the number of protons will equal the number of electrons, but only in a neutral atom. Remember that most atoms loan, borrow or share electrons, so the number of protons will not be equal to the number of electrons in all cases. In review, only in a neutral atom will the number of protons equal the number of electrons.


What can be determined by looking at the atomic number of an element?

The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in the nucleus, which determines its unique identity on the periodic table. It also indirectly indicates the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.


The atomic number of an atom indicates the number of?

The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. In the case of a neutral atom (as opposed to an ion), the atomic number is also equal to the total number of electrons.


What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?

In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.


What do you do with an atomic number and an atomic mass?

The atomic number is the number of a chemical element in the periodic table of Mendeleev; the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass is the mass of an atom expressed in relative atomic mass units.
