The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of any atom of any element. Because all atoms are neutral, the number of protons = number of electons. So the atomic number is the number of electrons. You may be confusing an atom with an ion. Atoms of elements on the right side of the Periodic Table have a stronger attraction for electrons than atoms of elements on the left side, For example, when a chloride atom get close enough to an atom of Sodium, the electron in the outer shell of the Na atom will move to the outer shell of the Cl atom. Now the Cl atom has 17 protons and 18 electrtons making a -1 charged ion. The Na atom now has 11 protons and 10 electrons making a +1 charged ion.
Elements in column 1 of the periodic table form +1 ions.
Elements in column 2 of the periodic table form +2 ions.
Elements in column 7 of the periodic table form -1 ions.
Elements in column 6 of the periodic table form -2 ions.

What are the periods in the periodic table?
The periods in the periodic table refer to the horizontal rows that indicate the number of electron shells an element's atoms have. There are 7 periods in the periodic table, each corresponding to the number of electron shells found in elements within that period.
Which way does electron shells increase on the periodic table?
The number of shells in periodic table increase down the group, i.e., vertically.
What is the period on the periodic table?
The period on the periodic table refers to the horizontal rows that categorize elements based on the number of electron shells they have.
What can the period of a element be determined by?
The period of an element in the periodic table can be determined by the number of electron shells or energy levels that the element's atoms have. Each period on the periodic table corresponds to the number of electron shells occupied by the elements within that period.
In what period is the element located on the periodic table?
The element's location on the periodic table indicates its period, which corresponds to the number of electron shells in its atomic structure.
The organization of the periodic table is based on what?
The Periodic Table is organized by Atomic Number (the number of protons) and the Electron Shell capacity (the number of electrons).
The periods in the Periodic Table have the same number of what?
They have the same number of electron shells.
How are the elements arranged?
Elements are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus. This arrangement groups elements with similar properties in columns called groups or families, while elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
When you read the periodic table top to bottom the number of electron energy level increase or decrease?
When reading the periodic table top to bottom, the number of electron energy levels increase. This is because each row in the periodic table corresponds to one electron energy level. The number of energy level corresponds to the period number of the element.

What is the period on the periodic table?
The period on the periodic table refers to the horizontal rows that categorize elements based on the number of electron shells they have.
Which number tells you the number of valence electron?
Indirectly this can be derived from the number of the group in the periodic table.
How are the number of electron in the outer level and columns of the periodic table related?
700,000,00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
Is snow on the periodic table?
No, snow is not on the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that organizes elements based on their atomic number, chemical properties, and electron configurations. Snow is a form of precipitation that consists of ice crystals.
What can the period of a element be determined by?
The period of an element in the periodic table can be determined by the number of electron shells or energy levels that the element's atoms have. Each period on the periodic table corresponds to the number of electron shells occupied by the elements within that period.
Smallest element in the periodic table?
Hydrogen (H) - with a single proton and electron.
