The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number. So the number of atomic number is equal to the number of protons. hope it helped (:

Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. One way to find the number of protons an atom has is by looking at that specific element on the periodic table.

Usually, the atomic number (number of protons) will be under the name of the element or the element symbol depending on which periodic table you have.
