What part of the periodic table tell you the number of protons?
atomic number
Go to the Periodic Table of Elements and click on your element. If it makes things easier, you can select your element from an alphabetical listing. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number, which is unique to each element. The number of protons identifies an element and determines its chemical properties. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
Which number on the periodic table indicates the number of protons in an atom of a specific element?
The atomic number (Z) of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element. This means that the number of protons is the characteristic which makes each element unique compared to all other elements.
How is the number of protons in the nucleus of an element determined?
Explanation: The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number, which is unique to each element. The number of protons identifies an element and determines its chemical properties. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
What does the atomic number of an element tell you?
The atomic number of any element on the periodic table tells you not only the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element, it also reveals the number of electrons, which are circling the nucleus in an electron cloud.
How are atoms arranged on the periodic table?
The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table. The atomic number of an atom never changes in a chemical reaction, but can change during radioactive decay. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
Do you know the number of neutral atoms?
The atomic number also tells you the number of _________ in a neutral atom of that element. Please help! I’m really confused. Hover for more information. Who are the experts?
