Electronics - Voltage and Current - Discussion

I agree with @Sachin.

But it's customary to say that no of protons determine the atomic number of a element.

I agree with, the atomic number is equal to the no.of protons.

According to me,

Atomic No = No.of protons or electrons in an atom.

In a neutral atom, no.of protons=no.of electrons=atomic number.

But in shared element, no.of protons=atomic number.

In atom, no of protons= no of electrons. Hence,

Atomic no = no of protons = no of electrons.

If we lost one or more electron in an atom structure due to bond formation or chemical reaction that is positively charged ion, here num of protons in that atom was not change. So num of proton > num of electron.

If we gained one or more electron in an atom structure due to bond formation or chemical reaction that is negatively charged ion, here num of protons in that atom was not change. So num of proton < num of electron.

In both cases num of neutron is changed, but num of protons remains constant.

That's why we said num of protons decide atomic number.

For an atom electron and proton number is same for the stability of the particular atom. In the time of chemical reaction proton will be neutral and nonreactive but always the electron number varies. So to get a stabilized answer I will go with proton.

In every chemical reaction the no. of electron is vary i.e. increase or decrease, but the no. of proton remain same in every condition, thereby I decide that option (B) is correct.

If any atom in the participation of bond formation the no of electrons changes but protons does not change.

Since protons are never transferred they remains constant in an atom therefore B is correct.
