1 multiple choice 5 points the atomic number on the periodic table is the same as the # of atom protons neutrons atomic mass
The atomic number of an element is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. It is a fundamental property used to identify elements on the periodic table. Atoms are the basic units of matter, neutrons are neutral particles in the nucleus (and their number can vary for isotopes of the same element), and atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an element's isotopes (which is related to protons and neutrons but not the same as the atomic number).
