How to find number of protons?

Answer 1

All you need is a periodic table. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of all of the atoms of that element. So just look for the element on the periodic table, and its atomic number is the number of protons. However, if you don't have a periodic table available, and you've been given mass number, number of neutrons, and/or the number of electrons, you can calculate the number of protons by doing the following:

mass number - no. of neutrons = no. of protons

no. of electrons in a neutral atom = no. of protons

Answer 2

The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element, which is typically listed on the Periodic Table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Answer 3

The number of protons in an atom is the "atomic number" on the periodic table. For example, H has 1 proton, He has 2 protons, Li has 3 protons, Be has 4 protons, B has 5 protons, C has 6 protons, N has 7 protons, O has 8 protons, F has 9 protons, Ne has 10 protons, etc.

Answer 4

The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and the atomic number.

Answer 5

The amount of protons is the atomic number. It can also be found by taking the amount of neutrons from the Atomic Mass.

Answer 6

The number of protons is the same as the atomic number and number of electrons.

Answer 7

You count them by using a radiomicroscope, or look it up on the periotic table of elements.

Answer 8

it is the atomic number of the element. you can find the ATOMIC NUMBER by looking usually in the top right corner of each element box on the periodic tabel

Answer 9

For any chemical element the number of protons is equivalent to the atomic number.

Answer 10

Number of protons is the atomic number.
