Atomic number = no of proton or electron in an atom.

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

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.

Ok but for meteals or non ions electrons can also be said as atomic no.

Atomic number = No. of protons or electrons in an atom. So answer C is also correct.

Atomic number is also known as no.of protons. Nucleons is equal to addition of protons& neutrons. (i.e), A=Z+N. Where, z is a proton number or atomic number.

Since in an atom atomic number = no.of proton = no.of electron.
So atomic number will also be determine by no.of electron.
So atomic number will also be determine by no.of electron.
