It depends on what atom it is...
If it is a Hydrogen atom, it is 1
If it is a Helium atom, it is 2
...
Find the element you want on the Periodic Table of Elements, and there should be two numbers by that element. The smaller of the two numbers tells you the number of protons that the element has.
The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's atomic number and identity. It is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. The number of protons also influences the element's chemical properties.
The number of protons in an Atom's nucleus are found by observing the atomic number at the top of an element on the periodic table for one atom of it's element.
For example: Oxygen has 8 protons in it's nucleus shell.
Number of protons = atomic number.
the number of protons will depend on the atom and will vary from element to element
The number of protons in each element is equal to the atomic number which is the top bolded number in each elements box.
Depends on the nucleus - Hydrogen has 1. helium 2, lithium 3 etc - that is where the periodic table comes in

What is the atomic number always equal to?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to which of the following?
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
The mass number is used to calculate the number of what?
The mass number is used to calculate the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. It is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus determines the element that the atom belongs to. This number is known as the atomic number and is unique to each element. By identifying the number of protons in an atom, we can determine its elemental identity.
The atomic number of an atom indicates the number of?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. In the case of a neutral atom (as opposed to an ion), the atomic number is also equal to the total number of electrons.
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is the?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is the Atomic number.
What is the particle that identifies a atom?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its chemical identity.
Number of electrons and protons in a nucleus?
The number of protons in a nucleus depends on which element it is. ( The number of protons is the decider as to which element it is. ) The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, but none of the electrons are in the nucleus. Rather, they orbit around the nucleus like planets round a star.
What is the atomic number always equal to?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
How did you find out protons are in the nucleus?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is equal to atomic number.
Number of protons in silver nucleus?
The atomic number of silver is 47, which means it has 47 protons in its nucleus.
What is the atomic number of an elements based on?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
What is the correspondent to the number of protons inside the atomic nucleus?
The number of protons in the nucleus is the same as the atomic number.
How do you find the number of protons in an elements nucleus?
The number of protons in an elements nucleus is the same number at the atomic number.
Can the nucleus hold two or more protons?
A nucleus contain protons and neutrons. A nucleus can hold more protons - the number is equal to atomic number.
The number is the number of protons in the nucleus?
atomic number is the number of protons
What determines an attoms atomic number?
The number of protons.
