Because of the sharing process of electrons, a number of electrons is not equal to no. Of protons. It is true only neutral.

As electrons number gets changed while sharing, but electrons and protons no. Is always equal in an atom. So both can determine an atomic number. Maybe the answer is proton due to its consistency.

I think the atomic number is the number of either electrons or protons in an atom, however since electrons can be affected any time by being lost or gained therefore it is safer to choose the answer as protons for the atomic number as we all know that an atom doesn't lose or gain any protons.
