it tells us the number on the periodic table and it also tells us how many protons and nuetrons and electrons are in the atom within the nuecles.

The number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the?

Atomic weight in atomic mass units = the number of protons + the number of neutrons. The number of protons is your atomic number. Subtract that from the atomic weight for the number of neutrons.


How can you use the word atomic radius in a sentence?

Please tell me your atomicnumber.You just did 'use atomic number in a sentence' by putting this question on-screen.You could even read the above question and answers aloud, and you will have done it again.I just couldn't believe my eyes when I realized that an atomic number is revealed by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom!"What is your atomic number?" is NOT a good pick-up line, unless you are speaking to a scientifically-minded person.The atomic number of Helium is 2."The atomic number of Sulfur is 16."(Note that atomic number means the number of protons in the atom, that's why the term proton number is interchangeable with atomic number.)See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:


What is the difference between mass number and atomic number?

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The mass number determines the atom's mass, while the atomic number determines the element's identity on the periodic table.


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.


Any particular element can always be identified by its?
