Look it up in "Periodic Table of elements"

You can find the number of a particular element by looking at the Periodic Table; you can also do this by counting the number of protons in the nucleus.

The atomic number of neon is 10 the atomic number of calcium is 20 compared with a mole of neon a mole of calicum contains?

A mole of any element contains Avogadro's number of atoms, which is approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms. So, a mole of calcium (atomic number 20) will contain twice the number of atoms as a mole of neon (atomic number 10), as the atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom.


How do you find out the amount of electrons in an atom?

The number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which is the number of protons in its nucleus. This is because atoms are electrically neutral, so they have an equal number of protons and electrons. You can find the atomic number of an element on the periodic table.


Can atoms of different elements have the same number of protons be from the same element?

No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).


What is the relationship between mass number and atomic numbers?

The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The atomic number uniquely identifies an element, while the mass number helps determine the atom's mass.


What is the atomic number also equal to?

The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.

What does one determine an atoms atomic mass?

If you mean "how does one determine an atoms atomic mass?", then the answer would be to find a periodic table of elements where the whole numbers indicate atomic number and the other indicating atomic mass. Atomic number is generally described as the number of protons in a naturally occurring atom of a given element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons + number of neutrons in an atom.


Do you count neutrons to find an atoms identity?

If by its identity you mean its atomic number, no. Neutrons only count towards the Atomic Mass Number, or AMU.


Who find that atoms with same atomic number but different atomic mass?

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. These isotopes have similar chemical properties but may have different physical properties due to their different masses.
