Question

What does the atomic number tell you

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic number tells you how many protons are in an element. Each element has a different number of protons, so a specific number of protons will also help you easily identify that particular element. For example, if you are given that an element has an atomic number of 1, you would know the element is hydrogen because other elements have different amounts of protons and thus different atomic numbers.
