It tells you the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
the atomic number represents the number of protons in an elements atoms
Transmutation by definition means the conversion of one element into another, and so it follows that its atomic number must also change. Every element has a unique atomic number.
All elements in a column of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. Since their reactivity (i.e. its bonding) depends on the number of valence eletrons, elements in the same column should have similar chemical and physical properties.
The atomic number refers to the number of protons within an atom's nucleus and defines which element the atom is. And an ion is an atom with some level of positive or negative charge as a result of losing or gaining electrons, so ionisation has no effect on the atomic number (an ion of copper is still copper) and a negligable effect on the atomic mass - since electrons are relatively very light.The only way the atomic number can change is through nuclear fission (elements decaying into isotopes and lower elements) or nuclear fusion (creating higher elements).As such this question makes no sense.
There is a very specific order called a Periodic Table. All elements are arranged based on the number of protons. Hydrogen is number 1, it has 1 proton. Carbon is number 6, it has 6 protons. These values are called the Atomic Number. The atomic number of the elements increases accross the Table from left to right. In addition the table groups the elements into types (Inert Gases, metals etc and shows elements with similar properties in columns of increasing Atomic Number (top to bottom). As a bonus the Table generally contains information on Atomic Weights, completed orbitals, isotopes and similar. The elements may also be listed alphabetically by name (Helium, Iron, Silver etc.) or symbol (He, Fe, Ag, etc.)
Atomic number indicates the amount of protons present in the nucleus of an atom.
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.
The number is called the element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element.
Atomic number indicates the amount of protons present in the nucleus 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.
It tells you the atomic number, the number of protons, the density, its relations to other elements, and its characteristics.
The element symbol represents one mole of element , atomic number represents number of protons, atomic mass represents sum of protons and neutrons.
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.
The elements are lined up in order of increasing atomic number (number of protons).
The important thing is the number of positrons in the nucleus - this is the atomic number.
No it does not have. Atomic number i for elements.
Yes, elements can be ordered by their atomic number. The atomic number of an element corresponds to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, and elements are arranged in the periodic table from lowest to highest atomic number.
