This element is xenon.
The barium atom (neutral) contain 56 electrons.
Any neutral atom of barium contains 56 electrons, the counter charge for the 56 protons contained in the nucleus of a barium atom, as indicated by its atomic number, 56.
The number of electrons are equal to the number of protons which is equal to the atomic number. That's if you're trying to find the number of total electrons. If you want to find the number of valence electrons (electrons in the outermost shell) you must look at the group numbers. The group number is equivalent to the number of valence electrons.
Only for hydrogen and helium are these two numbers the same. All other elements have at least two non-valence electrons, and the total number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. Therefore, in all elements except hydrogen and helium, the number of valence electrons is less than the number of protons.
If by group A u mean Group 1, that would be one. Except for the transition metals, the # of valence electrons is equal to the one's place of the group #, except for helium because it can only have 2 and it is in the 8 group, but that is the group that has the most it can have.

This element is xenon.
2. the number of electrons on the outermost level is always equal to the group number. Barium is group 2 therefore it's outermost energy level contains 2 electrons
Any neutral atom of barium contains 56 electrons, the counter charge for the 56 protons contained in the nucleus of a barium atom, as indicated by its atomic number, 56.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons; and the number of protons is the label of a chemical element.
The atomic number or the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
The number of electrons are equal to the number of protons which is equal to the atomic number. That's if you're trying to find the number of total electrons. If you want to find the number of valence electrons (electrons in the outermost shell) you must look at the group numbers. The group number is equivalent to the number of valence electrons.
It is simply the atomic number on the periodic table. So let us take an example at random Barium 56 - it quite simply has 56 electrons.
The atomic number is the number of protons, and, in a neutral atom, also the number of electrons.
The elements in same column have equal number of valence electrons. They have similar chemical properties.
Only for hydrogen and helium are these two numbers the same. All other elements have at least two non-valence electrons, and the total number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. Therefore, in all elements except hydrogen and helium, the number of valence electrons is less than the number of protons.
Do you mean what does the number of protons equal? This is the atomic number of the element. All isotopes of an element will have the same number of protons, only the number of neutrons varies.
