There is no element Z! There is Zi (Zinc), Zr (Zirconium), but no Z!
Z is the atomic number in Chemistry and Physics.
The atomic number (Z) above each atomic symbol in the periodic table represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It determines an element's identity and its unique position in the periodic table. Elements are arranged in increasing atomic number from left to right on the periodic table.
The mass number (A) is the sum of protons (Z) and neutrons (N) in an atom. It is represented as A = Z + N. The atomic number (Z) represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity, while the neutron number (N) represents the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The atomic number is denoted by the letter "Z" and the mass number is denoted by the letter "A" in isotopic notation of atoms.
The ATOMIC NUMBER (Z) gives the position of an element in the Periodic Table. It also indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom of a given element. Taking two examples;- Z = 1 ; Hydrogen ; No. of protons = 1, No of electrons = 1 Z = 6 ; Carbon ; No. of protons = 6, No of electrons = 6
The abbreviation for atomic number is "Z."

Z
Conventionally in chemistry, the atomic number is represented by the symbol 'Z'.
Z(Atomic number) IS the number of protons in a nucleus.
Symbol Z comes from the German word Zahl 'number',
z
the atomic number of an element
To calculate the number of protons in an atom, use the atomic number (Z), which represents the number of protons. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number (A = Z + N). Electrons are the same as the number of protons in a neutral atom.
A = Mass Number Z = Atomic Number N = Neutron A - Z = N
No, only in special cases.Generally you'd also like to know the mass number (m) to calculate the neutron number (n) from the atomic number (z)m = n + z, so n = m - z(Remember that atomic number z = p which is the number of protons, so also valid:m = n + p, so n = m - p )
