Giovanni Blanchard · Answer 1

Depends on what kind of atom it is. The number of protons can be seen in the periodic table as the atomic number. The number of proton within an atom is always equal to the number of electron.

Camila Watkins · Answer 2

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. In our example, krypton's atomic number is 36. This tells us that an atom of krypton has 36 protons in its nucleus.
