Electron has negative charge. Proton has positive charge.

We always be positive. So proton is correct.

The atomic number is equal to protons, I agree with it.

No of electron = No of proton = Atomic number.

Number of protons decides atomic number.

An Atom is a stable particle made up of a Nucleus surrounded by Protons and Electrons. Both protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.

The stability is due to the cancellation of forces of -ve charges of electrons with that of +ve charges of protons. The number of protons in a nucleus is called the atomic number and equals the number of electrons in orbit about that nucleus in a non-ionized atom. Elements are made up of Atoms.

So all atoms that have the same number of protons (the atomic number) are atoms of the same element.

No of proton = atomic number.

I think it is both the proton and electron.
