The number of protons.
Carbon = a Z number of 6.
Hydrogen = a Z number of 1
Oxygen = a Z number of 8.
And so on. Just read it off the Periodic Table.
The atomic number, or Z, is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. This is what determines what element an atom is. A link can be found below.
Z is atomic number, so from the periodic table, you can see that this is the element krypton, Kr. You can also see that this element is in Group 18 (VIIIA), which is the noble gases group.
Different numbers of neutrons and hence different physical properties.
Boron: Boron's mass number is 10.811 rounded to 11.11 - 5 (Z or element number) = 6
Technetium - its atomic number is 43.
There is no element Z! There is Zi (Zinc), Zr (Zirconium), but no Z!
Z means the number of protons in an atom of an element, which is the element's atomic number.
A is mass number of the element (also the number of protons and neutrons) and Z is the atomic number of the element (also the number of protons)
the atomic number of an element
Atomic number(z) of an element is the number of protons present in an atom.z = p(protons)
Thallium. Atomic number (Z) = 81
There is no element with the abbreviation "Hz". There's He (helium) with Z = 2, Ho (holmium) with Z = 67, Hf (hafnium) with Z = 72, and Hs (hassium) with Z = 108.Hz is the abbreviation for "hertz" in physics, but that's not a chemical element.

The atomic number or z number or the number of protons is what makes one atom different from another. The atomic number or z number or the number of protons is what makes one atom different from another.
Z(Atomic number) IS the number of protons in a nucleus.
