Maybe it's from the atomic weight? Maybe someone thinked of a formula stating that the atomic number came from the atomic weight with this formula:
Legend: A.W. is atomic weight while A.N. is atomic number.
A.W. (cancel all decimal places)
divided by:
2
= Atomic number.
I tried this, my own "experimental" formula whether it works. It worked accurately with oxygen and carbon, but in other elements, (try with krypton) it won't work. The quotient wasn't the atomic number in the Periodic Table of Elements, and I think the reason is that Krypton and other unequal A.N. elements belong in different groups are because they naturally need to be in a certain family or group. When I used the formula with krypton, it had the A.N. of 42, in the metals. Unfortuantely, krypton SHOULD belong to the non-metals.
I am searching for the truth if this formula is to be true. I have to prove this quick though, I need help in my never-ending researching. Thanks!
