No. of electrons and no. of protons are equal to atomic no.
Since, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged They cancel
each other's charge and hence, the atom is neutral as a whole.
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
The atomic particles of an isotope are the proton, electron and neutron
A chlorine-35 atom has 17 protons, 17 electrons and 18 neutrons, altogether 52 atomic particles. Chlorine-37 has two more neutrons and it has 54 atomic particles.
All the elements have an atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons found in the atom of a certain element. And to equalize themselves the atoms will usually have the same amount of electrons as protons so electrons also equal the atomic number. The atomic number is the number on the top of the box on the periodic table for each element. You must have been asking what two subatomic particles make up the atomic number. In that case it would be the proton and the electron because the neutron is so mall that chemist's usually nullify it.
An atom's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. This is because the atomic number defines an element and each element has a unique number of protons, which determines its chemical properties.
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
protons and electrons
The "Atomic number" of an element corresponds to the number of only the protons in the nucleus of its atoms. Add to that the number of neutrons that are also in there, and you have the "Atomic weight".
The atomic particles of an isotope are the proton, electron and neutron
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
A chlorine-35 atom has 17 protons, 17 electrons and 18 neutrons, altogether 52 atomic particles. Chlorine-37 has two more neutrons and it has 54 atomic particles.
THe atomic number would decrease by 2 as alpha particle comes out. But for two beta particles the atomic number would increase by 2. So the atomic number remains unchanged due to emission of one alpha followed by 2 beta particles.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. For example, oxygen has eight protons in its nucleus, helium has two, and hydrogen has one.

Electrons and protons.
Protons and electrons match the atomic number on the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, which also determines its chemical identity. Electrons balance the positive charge of protons in an atom, making it electrically neutral.
Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
