5

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
