The atomic number is the number of protons that the element has.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. In the case of a neutral atom (as opposed to an ion), the atomic number is also equal to the total number of electrons.
This periodic pattern is known as the periodic table. It allows us to predict the properties of elements based on their position in the table. The arrangement is based on the number of protons in the nucleus of each element, which determines its chemical behavior.
the actual number of atoms in a molecule
The atomic number of an elemnt tells you how many protons are in the nucleus and therefore how many electrons thare are in a neutral atom. The mass number is the toal of protons and neutrons.
The atomic number is the count of how many protons an atom has in its nucleus (and therefor also the count of how many electrons the neutral atom possesses). The atomic number us unique for each element and positions the element in the periodic table. The element with atomic number 39 is Yttrium (Y).
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.The Atomic Number of an element helps us to locate that particuarler element on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Calcium is a metal element. Atomic number of it is 20.
The atomic number tells us the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It determines the element's identity and its place on the periodic table. Elements with different atomic numbers have different chemical properties.
Atomic number, being a characteristic property (property that is diff. for each element), it identifies the element, For instance, Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, and it's the only one that has that atomic number, same with any other element, except that no other element has an atomic # of 8. No two elements can share an atomic number.
the # of protons
The periodic table tells us:The elements atomic massThe elements atomic numberIf the element is a gas, metal, etc.How many protons, electrons and neutrons an element hasThe name of the elementWhich elements could have similar properties (nearby in the chart)(Oops that was already six things (but some of them depend on the others)
For elements it's the atomic number not the "Period Number." This number tells you how many protons a single atom of that element has in its nucleus. The "period number" is a dimensionless quantity used in fluid dynamics.
The periodic table is in order of atomic mass
it tells us that the number is equal to the number of protons plus the number of nuetrons in the nucleus of an atom
The nitrogen has 7 protons. your welcome!
