What is counted to determine the atomic number of an atom?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Protons located within the nucleus are counted to determine the atomic number of an atom. This is different than the atomic mass which is a count of the total count of neutrons and protons within a nucleus.

I'm pretty confident the atomic number is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. That's one of the key facts we've covered in this unit, so I'm going with B, Proton.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought the atomic number was based on the number of electrons, not protons. This is tripping me up a bit. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Okay, I've got this. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. So the correct answer must be B, Proton.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know the atomic number has something to do with the particles in the atom, but I can't remember if it's protons, neutrons, or electrons. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Communication plans could also be a good option, as they often outline the notification process. But the incident response policy feels like the most direct and comprehensive source for this information.
