The atomic number increases one-by-one stepping to the right (within a specific period) in the Periodic Table.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of one atom of that element. In general, atomic numbers increase as you move to the right and down in the table.
Presumably because atomic number is the fundamental characteristic for organizing the periodic table itself. Every element in the interior of a period of the periodic table has an atomic number greater by 1 than its neighbor to the left and less by 1 than its neighbor to the right; every element (except hydrogen) at the left end of a periodic table period has an atomic number greater by one than the rightmost member of the preceding period; and every element at the right end of a periodic table periodic has an atomic number less by 1 than the leftmost element in the succeeding period, if such a succeeding period exists.
As you move left to right on the periodic table, the number of valence electrons an element has increases. The number of valence electrons an element has corresponds to which group (column) an element is. (This rule does not apply to transition metals...)
I'm assuming you mean "how can you find an element on the periodic table?" The periodic table is strategically placed. You can either look for the atomic number (the number at the top-- the number of the protons in one atom), or you can just look for the Element Symbol. The periodic table from left to right is sorted by increasing atomic number. The periodic table from top to bottom is sorted by increasing number of energy levels (the levels in which the electrons are in).
Elements on the periodic table are arranged by atomic number. This refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. Generally, atoms with higher atomic numbers will have a higher mass (due to more protons); however, the number of neutrons in the nucleus (isotopes of each element) will also affect the mass. An element with a lower atomic number but extra neutrons could have a higher atomic mass than an element with a higher atomic number. The atomic mass listed on the periodic table is an average of the naturally occurring distribution of isotopes of that element. For example, Cobalt (element #27) has an atomic mass of 58.9332 amu, whereas Nickle (element #28) actually has a lower atomic mass of 58.6934 amu.
The number in the upper right corner of each element on the Periodic Table is its atomic number. This number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of one atom of that element. In general, atomic numbers increase as you move to the right and down in the table.

In the periodic table, atomic numbers are given alongside the symbol of each atom. As atomic number is always equal to number of protons, so the Periodic Table also tells us about the number of protons in different atoms...
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
As you move from left to right in the periodic table, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom increases by one in each element. This increase in the number of protons defines the atomic number and determines the element's position in the periodic table.
Element X is located on the periodic table based on its atomic number and chemical properties. By knowing the atomic number of element x, you can determine its specific location within the periodic table.
The Atomic Number Is Located On The TOP Of The Element Symbol. So Example. 14<ATOMIC NUMBER> Si<Symbol> 28.086<Atomic Mass> Silicon <The Name> This Is The Correct Order Of An Element That Should Be Labeled.
As you move left to right on the periodic table, the number of valence electrons an element has increases. The number of valence electrons an element has corresponds to which group (column) an element is. (This rule does not apply to transition metals...)
The order of elements in the periodic table is based on their atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number from left to right and top to bottom on the periodic table.
The atomic number increases in the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and it increases by one as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table.
