on this statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

this statement is false

Explanation:

the atomic number of an element is the number of protons

For an atom this is true as it has a neutral nature so number of protons = number of electrons.

For an ion ,depending on cation or anion, their are either extra or less electrons but atomic number is the same

example: Na atom has atomic number 11... Na+ ion has 10 electrons but atomic number is still 11 so atomic number depends on number of protons not electrons.
