It's the number of protons.
The table of elements organizes the elements by their number of protons/the atomic number as the number of protons of an element is fixed, unlike the number of electrons and neutrons.

The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons present in the atom that is the atomic number and number of protons are same for an atom. It is unique for every atom.

Atomic mass: It is nearly equals to the sum of mass of subatomic particles present in the atom that is sum of proton and neutron.

Number of neutrons: in an atom, the number of neutrons are always equal to the number of protons. If the number of neutrons are different for a number of proton then it is said be an isotope of that atom.

Protons plus neutrons: Sum of number of protons and number of neutrons is said to be the mass number of that atom.

Hence, the atomic number is the number of protons.

what is cotinental drift defin this term whith three scientific evidnce in 3-5 sentences HELP ME I'LL MAKE YOUR BRAINEST AND YOU
FinnZ [79.3K]
Continental drift is the movement of Earth’s continents over long periods of time. An evidence for this is that some continents look like puzzle pieces that can fit together, such as South America and Africa. Another evidence is that fossils of the same type have been found in different continents, far apart - suggesting that the two continents once were joined. Another evidence is that identical rocks were found at both sides of the Atlantic Ocean by Alfred Wegener, the main developer of the continents drift theory.
