What is the atomic number of Example 2?
Example: Helium has an atomic number of 2 since it has two protons in its nucleus.
Can you create an atom with an atomic number of 2?
How would you create an atom with atomic number 2? There should only be 3 neutrons and protons in the nucleus. It could be 2 protons and 1 neutron or 2 neutrons and 1 proton. As for the electrons, they must equal the protons.
What does 2+ mean in chemistry?
Ba2+ means that you have a Barium ion with two positive charges. so the 2 counts the positive charges and the + is not the symbol to add something, the + means only a positive charge. https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/24769/why-ca-2-and-not-ca-2/24770#24770.

How do I find the atomic number of an atom?
Now you know that atomic number = number of protons, and mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
How do you calculate atomic number of an element?
Locate the element’s atomic number. The atomic number is located above the element symbol, in the upper left-hand corner of the square. The atomic number will tell you how many protons make up a single atom of an element. For example, boron (B) has an atomic number of 5, therefore it has 5 protons.
What are all the elements and their symbols?
Hydrogen (H)
What is AMU in the periodic table?
The standard atomic weight is the average mass of an element in atomic mass units (“amu”). Though individual atoms always have an integer number of atomic mass units, the atomic mass on the periodic table is stated as a decimal number because it is an average of the various isotopes of an element.
What are the elements of an element?
An element is a pure substance that is made from a single type of atom . Elements are the building blocks for all the rest of the matter in the world. Examples of elements include iron, oxygen, hydrogen, gold, and helium. An important number in an element is the atomic number. This is the number of protons in each atom.
