What is the importance of proton number in an atom?
The proton number of an atom determines what element it is an atom of. That is, it determines the chemical properties of the atom. It does this because the charge on the neutron is neutral, which means that the total charge of the nucleus is equal to the proton number, which it turn means that the number of electrons in the uncharged atom is equal to the proton number. And that in turn determines which electron shells will be filled and what valence electrons available. In this context, the proton number of the nucleus is the atomic number of theelement.
Which element has the smallest number of proton in the atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
What is the atomic number in the atom?
number of proton
Which element has the smallest number of proton in its atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
The atomic number of a compound indicates the?
The atomic number refers to the number of proton in a particular atom. As a matter of fact, number of proton = number of electrons in an atom. The number of electron changes as the atom forms ion.
What are positive particles in the atom?
Protons are the positively charged particles found in the nucleus of the atom.
The mass number of an atom is equal to what?
proton
What is the mass number of atom equal to?
proton
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is the of that atom?
Atomic number = number of proton in an atom Thus atomic number of an atom with 11 protons is 11.
What is the atomic number to a proton?
We don't use a atomic number for a proton. But atomic number is the number of protons an atom contains.
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
What does the atomic number indiacate?
Number of Proton(or Electron) in the Atom
