No. Valence electrons just means the electrons available in the outermost shell. Atomic number means total electrons. Look up the octet rule or filling the outer shell to learn more

Is valance electrons equal to the number of protons?

No. Atomic number = number of protons


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.


Is the number of electrons the atomic number?

Yes, the number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number.


What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?

In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.


What is the atomic mass the same as?

The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons and electrons that an element has.

The equivalence is with the atomic number.


How can the number of proton neutron and electron be calculated to get atomic number and atomic mass?

atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number


How can the number of valence electrons be determined from the periodic table?

By looking at the group number you can tell how many valance electrons there are ex: Group 1= 1 valance electrons Group 2-12= 2 valance electrons Group 13= 3 valance electrons Group 14= 4 valance electrons Group 15= 5 valance electrons Group 16= 6 valance electrons Group 17= 7 valance electrons Group 18= 8 valance electrons

The... Is equal to the number of protons in an atom?

Electrons or atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons as well as the principle quantum number.


How is an atom's atomic number related to it's number of electrons?

For neutral atoms the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons.


Does number of electrons in an atom give it atomic number?

Yes, the number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and since atoms are electrically neutral, they have the same number of electrons.
