Question 10

In a neutral atom, the positive charge from protons is balanced by the negative charge from electrons. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, and in neutral - state, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.

In the nuclear symbol $_Z^A X$, the atomic number $Z$ represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. Protons define the element's identity.
