Carbon
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines an element's atomic number. In other words, each element has a unique number that identifies how many protons are in one atom of that element. For example, all hydrogen atoms, and only hydrogen atoms, contain one proton and have an atomic number of 1. All carbon atoms, and only carbon atoms, contain six protons and have an atomic number of 6. Oxygen atoms contain 8 protons and have an atomic number of 8. The atomic number of an element never changes, meaning that the number of protons in the nucleus of every atom in an element is always the same.
Yes, all carbon atoms have the same atomic number, and that is 6.
Nope, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
yes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, thus electorns, thus the same chemical properties. Where isotpes differ is in the number of neutrons. Consider hydrogen, atomic number 1, atomic weight 1, 1 proton, 1 electron vs duterium, atomic number 1 atomic weight 2, 1 proton, 1 electron, 1 neutron. H2O = water D2O = heavy water
by the atomic number.
Ethanol is a compound, not an element and so does not have an atomic number. It is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which have the atomic numbers 6, 1, and 8 respectively.
Carbon (it has six atoms of it)
The number of protons is equal to the element's atomic number on the periodic table. Hydrogen, atomic number one, has one proton. Carbon, atomic number six, has six protons. Alternatively, if you know the number of electrons on a neutral atom, the number of protons will be the same.

how do you find the atomic number for an element?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Atomic Mass minus atomic number
the number of protons in an atoms nucleus is called atomic number
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is equal to atomic number.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the atomic nuclei of the atoms of an element.
Protons.
