Why is it impossible for an atom to have an atomic number of 110.5?
atoms of elements all have the same atomic number
atoms with atomic numbers greater than 100 are unstable
atoms always split electrons
atoms only have whole numbers of protons

Therefore, it is impossible for an atom to have an atomic number of 110.5 because atomic numbers are always whole numbers representing the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
