The elements are all organized according to atomic number from smallest to largest and placed in rows and columns based upon their size, number of electrons in the outer shell and common characteristics.

∙ 11y agowell there are many atomic numbers like 6 is carbon and 1 is hydrogen, the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in the neutral atom. The number of electrons determines the chemistry.

∙ 7y agoBecause the atomic number is a count of how many positively charged Protons are in the nucleus of the element (which is balanced by the negatively charged Electrons orbiting the nucleus). It is the Electrons that are involved in chemical reaction and therefore determine the properties of an element and thus atomic number delivers a rational means of ordering and grouping the elements.

What is used to order elements on the periodic table?
the elements in the modern periodic table are arranged according to their increasing atomic number.
What is copper's atomic number?

How do you find the atomic number of atoms?
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.
How do atomic numbers and atomic masses increase in the periodic table?
The atomic number and atomic masses increase as you move from left to right.
What is the 34th element on the periodic table?
The element with atomic number 34, selenium.
What is an atomic number How is it used to create the periodic table?
an atomic # is the # of protons in each atoms nuecleus
How does atomic number explain the arrangement of the periodic table?
According to the modern periodic table "Elements are the periodic function of their atomic number".They are arranged in increasing atomic no. in the periodic table.
Who redesigned the periodic table to put elements in order by atomic number?
No,its not Dmitri Mendeleev.Dmitri Mendeleev create the first periodic table but mostly it was wrong....he arranged them by the atomic number when it should have been by increasing the atomic number(and ya there's a difference)..the one that rearranged it was Henry Moseley.
What is an atomic number. how is it used to create a periodic table?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element. It defines the element. No two different elements can have the same number of protons. It is used to lay out the periodic table because the table shows the elements in increasing numbers of protons.
Elements are organized in the periodic table by their?
The periodic table is a function of the atomic number.
In the periodic table the elements are arranged in order of increasing?
In modern periodic table, elements are listed by increasing atomic number.
Which pattern do atomic number in periodic table have?
Elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number in the periodic table.
What is the atomic number on the periodic table?
The atomic number on the periodic table is the number of protons for the element.
What does the atomic number and atomic mass have to do with the arrangement of the elements on the periodic table?
The elements on the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
How is an atom used to create a periodic table?
The elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number.
What is an atomic number and what is its relationship with the periodic table?
the atomic number is the number of protons in a certain element. elements are arranged on the periodic table by atomic number in increasing order
How do you tell the atomic number of an atom?
The atomic number of each element is on the periodic table. The elements are arranged on the periodic table in order of increasing atomic number.
