Answer:

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge. The atomic number tells you the number of protons in one atom of an element. It also tells you the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.

  • An element's atomic number is defined by the number of protons present in an atom.
  • The atomic number, that is, the number of protons helps distinguish one element from another.
  • In an electrically neutral atom, the total number of electrons and the number of protons are equal.
  • The number of electrons determines the charge on an atom .
  • An atom can have a variable oxidation state like iron (Fe) has oxidation state as +2 and +3.
