The atomic number tells us how many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom or element.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, which is the atomic number. Therefore, the atomic number is a key identifier of an element and dictates its position in the periodic table. The atomic number does not directly indicate the number of neutrons, as that can vary among isotopes of the same element.
