Atomic Number :

 The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom is the atomic number of that atom. It is represented by the symbol Z.

Atomic number (Z) = Number of protons (p)

  • All atoms of an element have the same atomic number. The number of protons and electrons in an atom is equal. Thus, the atom of an element is electrically neutral.
