The number of atoms in a given mass is related to the atomic mass of the element and Avogadro's number, 6.22x1023. If, for instance, we have 18grams of carbon, we divide 18 by the atomic mass of carbon, 12, to get the number of moles, 1.5 (18/12=1.5). Each mole contains 6.22x1023 atoms, so our sample has 1.5mol x 6.22x1023atoms/mole = 9.33x1023 carbon atoms.

Electrons determine the chemical properties of an atom.
Why is the smallest particle of iron an atom?
It is an atoms chemical properties that determine whether it is iron or manganese or aluminium. These properties are (to a first approximation) controlled by the number of electrons in the outermost shell.A single atom is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties.Anything smaller is electrons or protons, or neutrons ... .
What is meant by proton number?
a particle of matter with a positive electric charge
