No of protons and no of electrons are equal in an atom. But while in stages of sharing, sharing of electrons only takes place. So that no of protons is constant in an atom.

So that I agree atomic Number=no of protons.

I agree protons determimes the atomic number in atom.

Gopiram Verma said:   1 decade ago
Yes, I agree that while sharing no of electrons may be changed, so proton is the atomic no.

I agree with gopiram verma.

Laxman said:   1 decade ago
Yes, electron number will change due to sharing whereas proton number is constant.

This is a good explain about atomic number. So, I agree with you.

For any atom with atomic number N, atomic mass Z & no. of neutrons 'n', we have,

Atomic mass number= Z+n...(1)

So, atomic number N is given by

N=Atomic mass number - Atomic mass

=(Z+n)-Z

=n.

Which means that atomic number depends upon number of neutrons & hence 'D' should be the correct option.

Number of electron = Number of proton = Atomic Number,

Atomic mass = proton+neutron, so answer is (b) and (c) i.e, number of proton or number of electron.
