Number of protons in the nucleus?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

the no. of protons in the nucleus is equal to the no. of electrons out side the nucleus in the ordinary state of the atom.

Answer 5

Number of protons = atomic number.

the number of protons will depend on the atom and will vary from element to element

Answer 6

The number of protons in each element is equal to the atomic number which is the top bolded number in each elements box.

Answer 7

Depends on the nucleus - Hydrogen has 1. helium 2, lithium 3 etc - that is where the periodic table comes in

Answer 8

Electronegativity
