Answer:
Atomic number, the number of a chemical element in the periodic system, whereby the elements are arranged in order of increasing number of protons in the nucleus. Accordingly, the number of protons, which is always equal to the number of electrons in the neutral atom, is also the atomic number.
The number of protons determines an element's atomic number and is used to distinguish one element from another. Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number.
