It tells you (1) how many protons are in the element, and (2) what the element is since all atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.
It's D. The number of protons in its atoms.
It tells how many protons/electrons that element has.
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the associated element.
The atomic number of the element refers to the number of protons of an atom: all atoms of an element have this number of protons. A neutral atom of the element will have the same number of electrons.
The atomic number of an element tells you the number of protons in the nucleus. It is the whole number found above the element symbol in the periodic table. Each element has a unique atomic number that corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus.
The atomic number of an element refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element, and is unique to each element. The atomic weight is the weight of an atom of the element compared with the weight of a single proton, and consists of number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom of that element, and different atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore more than one atomic weight: it is usually given as an average. the atomic number on an element is simply the number of protons and electrons in the element. however, it is not the total number of them.
The Atomic Number tells us the position of the element in the Periodic Table. It also tells us the number of protons and electrons in an atom of that element. The Atomic Mass/Weight is different. The Atomic Mass is the total numbers of nucleons ( protons and neutrons) in the nucleus of an atom. For a given element the atomic mass can vary. This is because the nucleus may have a different number of neutrons. These different masses of a given element are named 'Isotopes'.
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of that element.
atomic number tells us the number of protons and electrons in the given atom. As Atomic No. = no. of protons = No. of electrons
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the associated element.
The atomic number of the element refers to the number of protons of an atom: all atoms of an element have this number of protons. A neutral atom of the element will have the same number of electrons.
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus. As such, it defines the element, since each element has a definite and defined number of protons. In the element, it also tells you the number of electrons, since the element (not the ion) has a neutral charge and protons = electrons.
The atomic number of an element tells you the number of protons in the nucleus. It is the whole number found above the element symbol in the periodic table. Each element has a unique atomic number that corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus.
Atomic number = Number of protons
The Atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of atoms of that element.
An element's atomic number tells us the number of protons in an atom of that element. It is used to uniquely identify the element and determine its placement on the periodic table. The atomic number also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.
The atomic number of an element refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element, and is unique to each element. The atomic weight is the weight of an atom of the element compared with the weight of a single proton, and consists of number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom of that element, and different atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore more than one atomic weight: it is usually given as an average. the atomic number on an element is simply the number of protons and electrons in the element. however, it is not the total number of them.
It tells the number of protons. :3
