The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of a particular element. The elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number on the Periodic Table.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. However, the number of electrons is not the atomic number.
What else can I help you with?
What is the atomic number also equal to?
The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines the element's identity and position on the periodic table. Electrons and neutrons can vary in number to form different isotopes of the element.
What element has the atomic number for 3.14?
No element has this atomic number. All atomic numbers are whole numbers.
Is the mass number of an atom equal to the atomic number?
Only if the atom is hydrogen-1! The mass number of the atom is equal to the sum of the numbers of protons, which is the same as the atomic number, plus the number of neutrons. The only non-radioactive atom without neutrons is hydrogen-1.
What is the atomic number always equal to?
The atomic number reflects the charge number of the nucleus. It is always equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
Why does proton and electron are equal atomic number?
They have not atomic numbers. Atomic number is made by number of protons an atom has.
Are found in the same numbers as protons?
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
Does the number of electrons in an atom give its atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
The atomic mass of an atom is equal to the sum of numbers of what?
protons + electrons= atomic mass NUMBER, not the atomic mass.
What are the big numbers called on the periodic table?
The big numbers are atomic numbers. They are equal to number of protons. Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
A charged atom that forms when the numbers of electrons and protons are not equal?
atomic number
What atomic particle is equal to its atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an atom
What is the atomic number of an atom with eleven protons and twelve neutrons?
Atomic numbers of atoms always measured by their proton units. Atomic number is equal to proton number. So its is eleven
How are atomic numbers and protrons related?
The atomic number of any element is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. For example, fluorine (F) has an atomic number of 9. This means it has 9 protons.
How do you find electrons in elements on the periodic table?
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.
Which subatomic particle is identified by this number?
Proton numbers equal the atomic number and is an identifier of a chemical element.
What is the atomic number also equal to?
The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.
