the mass number i believe
Everything is made up of atoms. An atom is the smallest amount you have have of an Element (you find these on the periodic table of elements) The atom is made of a nucleus and shells. Inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons. And in the shells are electrons.
The mass number is located at the top of each element's square on the periodic table. It represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
The order of an element in Mendeleyev's table of the elements; equal to the number of protons in the nucleus or electrons in the neutral state of an atom of an element. It is located in the upper left hand corner of every box on the periodic table.
The number of neutrons in an atom can vary....ie an elements can exist with atoms that have the same number of electrons (and so are chemically the same) but have a different number of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
There are 15 protons and 16 neutrons in the phosphorus atom. The atomic number, which is at the top of the square, represent the number of protons. In a neutral atom, there are the same amount of protons as well as electrons so there are 15 protons and 12 electrons. You can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass and round to the nearest whole number. In this case, the atomic number would be 15 and the atomic mass is 31. 31 minus 15 is 16 neutrons total.
the atomic mass and atomic number (number of protons) the number of neutrons is the mass minus the number
For a neutral atom they must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. Find the atomic number by looking at the periodic table of elements.
On any element's "square" on the periodic table, The number of protons in one atom is located at the very top of the square. For example, Beryllium has 4 protons.
The number at the top of an element square is referred to as an atomic number. This number provides you with multiple information such as the number of protons and electrons the element has, and with the atomic number it is easier to locate the element on the periodic table. In this case, Carbon's atomic number would be 6, as well as how many protons and electrons are in its nucleus.
An atom is supposed to have an equal number of electrons and protons, leading to a neutral charge. The number of electrons surrounding an atom is determined by its atomic number, which also dictates its place on the periodic table.
All you need is the periodic table and a brain. The number of protons is the atomic number(located at the top left hand side of the square for each element) The number of nutrons is the the Atomic Mass minus the Atomic Number.

This depends on the periodic table but it is either the atomic number (the number of protons) or the atomic mass (the number of protons and neutrons). The integer number will be the atomic number and the larger number will be the atomic mass. The exception is hydrogen which has an atomic number of 1 and an atomic mass of 1 (very close to it).
