Atomic Number - The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Unless the atom is ionized, the atomic number is also the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus of the atom ...
Atomic Number
(a) The number of protons in an atom's nucleus. This determines the type of element.
[edit] Atomic number
In chemistry the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is known as the atomic number, which determines the chemical element to which the atom belongs.

In chemistry and physics, the atomic number is the number of protons found in the atomic nucleus of an atom. It is conventionally represented by the symbol Z....

atomic number - (n.)
The number of protons in the nucleus of an element. It is the atomic number that defines the identity of an element. Z=6 for 12C.

ATOMIC NUMBER
An atom's atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms. The atomic number indicates the place of an element in the periodic table of the elements.

Due to its small atomic number and stability, there are many signatures of oxygen in the Universe.
The decay product is the nuclide having a mass number four units smaller and an atomic number two units smaller than the original nuclide.
Historically, the word was coined by scientist Andreas von Antropoff in 1926 (scil., before the discovery of the neutron itself) for the conjectured 'element of atomic number zero' that he placed at the head of the periodic table.
It was determined that a small, massive nucleus carries all the positive charge whose magnitude, expressed as a multiple of the fundamental charge of the proton, is the atomic number.
observation of short-lived radioactive elements such as Cobalt 56 in supernova 1987A. These observations provide direct evidence for these neutron absorption processes in supernovae.) In turning a neutron into a proton we move up one atomic number in ...
The next three lines give the atomic numbers of the five most important elements in living cells - hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorous.
The fission products were at first mistaken for new elements of atomic numbers 93 and 94, which the Dean of the Faculty of Rome, Orso Mario Corbino, christened ausonium and hesperium, respectively.
The graph plots binding energy as a function of atomic number or number of nucleons per atom.
ELEMENT - Substance composed of atoms, each of which has the same atomic number (Z) and chemical properties.
In its basic state an atom will form an element, the kind of element being dictated by the structure's atomic number. For example, a hydrogen atom will normally have 1 of each particle and its atomic number is 1.
of elements which have been formed from the capture of a free neutron (changing the isotope of the element) followed by a beta decay (a neutron decays into a proton and an electron, thus changing the element to one with a higher atomic number and an ...
Helium is an element with the atomic number 2. It has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus which is orbited by two electrons. It is the second most abundant element in the universe.
All atoms with the same number of protons (atomic numbers) in the nucleus are examples of the same element and have identical chemical properties.
Radiocarbon, 14C: The unstable, radioactive isotope of carbon having atomic number 6 and atomic mass 14. It is continuously produced in Earth's upper atmosphere by cosmic ray bombardment.
Generally, the dependence of d, and thus thetac of a material is proportional to its atomic number, Z. Thus high Z materials reflect X-rays more efficiently than low Z materials.
The horizontal axis shows atomic number"the number of protons in the nucleus. Notice how many common terrestrial elements are found on "peaks" of the distribution, surrounded by elements that are tens or hundreds of times less abundant.
An important fact in nuclear physics is that fission or fusion results in a release of energy if the by-product(s) approach Iron (Fe) in terms of their atomic number. The reaction consumes energy if the by-product(s) go away from Fe.

Coded into this pattern are (from the top down): binary representations of the numbers 1- 10, atomic numbers of the five elements essential to terrestrial life, the chemical formula of the DNA molecule, ...
Historically astronomers termed these elements with atomic numbers greater than two as metals. These include elements such as carbon and oxygen. The use of "metals" is not to be confused with the more common chemical meaning of the term.
