The atomic number reflects the charge number of the nucleus. It is always equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.
False as a generalization but true for some isotopes. The atomic number is the number of protons in a nucleus, which may coincidentally be the same as the number of neutrons but is not required to be.
An atom with twelve protons in its nucleus has an atomic number of 12. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which determines the element. In this case, the element with 12 protons is magnesium.
No, the number of valence electrons is not always equal to the number of protons. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of an element on the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. It determines the element's identity on the periodic table. The atomic number also helps determine the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an atom.
Electrons are equal to the number of protons and the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons you must subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
Electrons or Protons. As they are effectively equal in no in a neutral atom.
Mass
The atomic number is the number of protons, and, in a neutral atom, also the number of electrons.
Number of protons is always equal to the atomic number of an element. Example-at.no. Of hydrogen is one so it has one proton
In an atom, the number of protons is always similar to its atomic number. (The number of nutrons may be similar or different.)
For a chemical element the number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
The atomic number always indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. There are no exceptions to this rule.
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an atom
the atomic number would be 6. the atomic number is always equal to the number of protons.
No - in fact it is quite rare
