  2. Atomic Number - Chemistry - Socratic

    socratic.org/.../a-first-introduction-to-matter/atomic-number

    The number of protons in an atom is known as the Atomic Number, which is how the periodic table is organized (they are listed in order of atomic number from left to right). The Mass Number describes the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. An atom in its typical state will not have a charge, as the positive particles (protons) balanced out the negative ones (electrons). However ...

    The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. You find more information on ...

  4. How does the atomic number affect atomic radius? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/how-does-the-atomic-number-affect...

    The atomic number is the amount of protons present in the atom. Because of that, we can say that the atomic number represents the positive charge of the atom. As the positive charge of the atom increases the atomic radius decreases because the positive charge will bring electrons closer to the nucleus. Atomic radius becomes smaller as you move across a row/period of the periodic table because ...

  5. How do you calculate atomic number of an element? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/how-do-you-calculate-atomic-number...

    What is the atomic number? When you find the number of neutrons of an element, you do mass number minus atomic number. You can use this to build an equation: 30-x=20. x=10. The atomic number is 10. Answer link. Number of protons, number of electrons, mass number minus number of neutrons.

  6. How does atomic number affect ionization energy? - Socratic

    Doc Croc. May 13, 2014. The pattern is a complex one, and needs to be broken down to consider its contributing factors. Here's a graph of the first ionisation energy of atoms vs. atomic number: Firstly, across a period the ionisation energy generally increases. This is due to the outer shell electron which is being removed being more strongly ...

  7. What is the electron configuration for Zn2+? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/what-is-the-electron-configuration...

    The electron configuration of a neutral zinc atom is 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s2. The Zn2+ ion has lost two electrons, which leaves it with 30 protons and 28 electrons. The electron configuration of Zn2+ is 1s22s22p63s23p63d10. Zinc is a d-block element, also known as a transition element. For the d-block elements, the outermost s-sublevel has ...

    1 Answer. Steel is an alloy of iron, for which Z, the atomic number = 26.

  9. What does the atomic number of an element tell you?

    socratic.org/questions/what-does-the-atomic-number-of-an...

    Explanation: The atomic number helps people identify elements according to the number of protons one atom of the element has. It essentially defines the element. While having a neutral charge, it also provides the number of electrons the element has (in one atom). While isotopes are a thing, it doesn't completely change the atom.

  10. The atomic number for the element calcium (Ca) is 20. How ... -...

    socratic.org/questions/the-atomic-number-for-the-element...

    By definition, the atomic number is the number of protons, massive, positively charged nuclear particles. If there are 20 positively charged nuclear particles, there MUST be 20 fundamental, negatively charged particles also associated with the ATOM. And there are; they are called ELECTRONS, which are conceived to orbit the nuclear core.

  11. What is the atomic number of N? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/what-is-the-atomic-number-of-n

    What does it say? All periodic tables should have the same number for nitrogen, N, which is 7. A periodic table will help here... Look on the periodic table and find the symbol N on it. Then, look at the top left number. What does it say? All periodic tables should have the same number for nitrogen, N, which is 7.
