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.

Yes. Proton is correct.

Mohan said:   1 decade ago
Yes proton is correct.

I agree proton is correct but the no. of protons is always equal to the number of electrons, then why can't we say, the atomic no. is equal to the no. of electrons.

At the time of sharing number of electrons changes but the number of protons will be same so protons is the write answer.

Previously I thought electrons but now I agree with this explanation that proton is right.

I agree wit kishan tj.

In a neutal atom of element the no. of electrons=no. of protons
But in bond formation or chemical reaction no. of electrons can change while the no. of protons remain the same in the nucleus.
We consider the no. of protons in nucleus == ATOMIC NUMBER of an element.
