The atomic number or (also called) the proton number, represents the number of protons, which also represents the number of electrons in that single atom itself (an atom which has not gone through reactions of any kind will have the same number of electrons as number of protons).

Hope this helps! :)

P.s. This question seems more of a Chemistry than Biology question in my opinion

When an automatic battery is fully charged the sulfuric acid and water mixture will have a specific gravity of about
Archy [21]

the specific gravity of pure sulfuric acid is---------> approximately 1.835 g / cm3

the specific gravity of water is -------------------- >1.000 g / cm3.

 The electrolyte, that is, the dissolution of sulfuric acid in water, is usually at a rate of 36% acid, so that, in a fully charged element, we can deduce the electrolyte density, is 1.295 g / cm3. (see attached table)

The specific gravity is actually the difference in the weight of water compared to a specific fluid. It is measured with a hydrometer
