Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of protons in the nucleus of an atom gives us the atomic number of that atom. It is represented with the letter ‘Z.’ All the atoms of a particular element have the same number of protons, and hence the same atomic number. Atoms of different elements have different atomic numbers.
