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.

State whether the following statements are true or false (with justification). (a) 1 mol of N2 has more molecules than 1 mol of
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A. False.

Every substance contains the same number of molecules i.e 6.02x10^23 molecules

B. False.

Mass conc. = number mole x molar Mass

Mass conc. of 1mole of N2 = 1 x 28 = 28g

Mass conc. of 1mol of Ar = 1 x 40 = 40g

The mass of 1mole of Ar is greater than the mass of 1mole of N2

C. False.

Molar Mass of N2 = 2x14 = 28g/mol

Molar Mass of Ar = 40g/mol

The molar mass of Ar is greater than that of N2.

What is the term for a liquid composed of polar molecules?
IrinaVladis [17]
A dissolving liquid composed of polar molecules is a polar solvent.

The distinction of polar and non-polar liquids is important because the like dissolves like rule. This rule states that the solubility is greater when the polarity of the liquid is similar to the polarity of the solute.

So, to dissolve polar compounds (e.g. ionic compounds) you should use polar solvents (e.g. water).

Answer: polar solvent

dalvyx [7]
The stoichiometry of the reaction gives the molar ratio in which the reactants react with each other and the ratio in which products are formed.
The coefficients of the reactants in the reaction follow the stoichiometry 
the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows;
2C₃H₆(g) + 9O₂(g)  ---> 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)
