Atomic no. helps to know
1. the position of element in the Periodic Table
2. Common properties
3. Electronic Configuration
4. Common electrovalencies and oxidation states.
5. Many other properties.

What information does the atomic number give on the periodic table?

The atomic number on the periodic table corresponds to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. It uniquely identifies each element since no two elements have the same number of protons. Elements are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number.

Does the periodic table gives the mass number of the most common isotopes of an element?

The periodic table give the atomic numbers and the atomic weights of chemical elements.


What does the atomic mass minus atomic number tell you about the element?

Atomic mass minus atomic number will give you the average number of neutrons in that element. Bear in mind that atomic mass is based on the actual weight of that element, which is the result of whatever isotopes appear in nature; it is rarely based on only a single isotope.


How do you calculate the amount of protons or neutrons in an element?

well you look at the periodic table of elements. the atomic number equals the number of protons. Then subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass (both protons and nuetrons have atomic mass units of 1 and electrons equal 0). That will give you the number of nuetrons.


What can you predict about an element by its position on the periodic table?

By the position of an element on the periodic table you can tell how many protons the element has in it by looking at the number above the elements symbol. You can also find the electron configuration with that same number then you can and you can you can also tell if it is f1, f2,f3...s1,s2,d1,d2...


What information does the atomic number of an element give you?

The atomic number is how many protons there are, and since the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, it is also the number of electrons. You can take the number of protons away from the atomic weight (overall weight) which will give you the number of neutrons. (Electrons don't weigh anything in the atomic weight so you don't need to subtract this as well). Hope this helps :D

The number of protons and neutrons in an atom?

Depends on the atom. The atomic number will give you the number of protons. The atomic weight will give you approximately the number of protons and neutrons combined.
