Atomic number?

Question

does the atomic number tell you the amount of protons?

Answer 1

yes, it does.

Answer 2

Yes, the atomic number shows you the number of protons and electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons use the atomic mass minus the atomic number. Hope I helped!

Answer 3

yes, the atomic number (also known as the proton number) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It is traditionally represented by the symbol Z. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an atom of neutral charge, the number of electrons also equals the atomic number.

Answer 4

1)The number of protons in a nucleus is called the atomic number and always equals the number of electrons in orbit about that nucleus (in a nonionized atom). Thus, all atoms that have the same number of protons--the atomic number--are atoms of the same element. 2)The atomic mass is the total mass of protons, neutrons and electrons in a single atom. 3)The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons for nucleus.

Answer 5

Yes,the atomic no. tells the no. of protons in the atom.Since protons are equal to electrons, it also tells the no. of electrons.Itz represented by Z.

Answer 6

The atomic number Z is the number of protons

This number characterizes the type of atoms and its chemical properties since in its neutral state, Z is also the number of electrons

Answer 7

yes i am studying the exact same thing.
protons nd neutrons are in the nucleas.
the atomic number says the number of protons, which is the same number of neutrons.
i wont confuse u anymore with electrons.
but seriously do ur own flippin homework!

Answer 8

yes it is equalto the number of protons and electrons .protons are positive ,electrons are negative.

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

Yes it is.
