Gold-The number of protons is the same as an elements atomic number.
Each chemical element has a specific number of protons; the number of protons is equal to atomic number of the element.
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.
Antimony has 51 protons.
Barium has 56 protons.
An atom of an element is comprised of protons, electrons, and usually neutrons. The specific element is determined by the number of protons, and so there is only one particle that determines the element.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the atomic number of the element to which the atom belongs.
Silver (Ag) has 47 protons in its nucleus. Its atomic number is 47, which means is has 47 protons and 47 electrons.
47 protons means atomic number is 47, so look at your periodic table.... it's ag, or silver
47
Ag - Silver
The number of protons in the nucleus affects the elemental identity of an atom, whereas the number of neutrons does not affect which element an atom belongs to.
The number of protons in an atom determines which element it is (i.e Silver-47 protons vs. Gold-79 protons)
indium has 49 protons, not electrons. strontium: group 2 peiod 5 is the closest Indium has 49 electrons
Ok the element silver )chemical symbol Ag) has 47 Protons and Electrons. Also here is the website I got the info from in case you need to find out about any other elements. http://www.chemicalelements.com/elements/ag.html Hope this helps cause I just studied the Elements and it was drilled into me head pretty hard :)
The quantum strong force.
For any element, the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. And for any element, the atomic mass is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the nucleus. For an element with the atomic number 47 and an atomic weight of 107, it will have 107 - 47 neutrons in its nucleus, or 60 neutrons in its nucleus. Whether or not an atom is a neutral atom or not makes no difference here.
The nucleus of an atom is made of 'Protons' and 'Neutrons'. The nucleus of an atom is then surrounded by 'Electrons'.
