If you have done any research on how batteries work or what you should look for when selecting a battery, you are probably buried in information, some of which is conflicting. At BatteryStuff, we aim to clear that up a bit.You have most likely heard the term K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
And atom is a specific element dependent on the number of protons it has, which is also its atomic number. An atom with 1 proton will always be Hydrogen, for example. Just look at a period table to see the name of an element for however many protons it has. Majestic Computing Â· 6 years ago.
The number of protons determines the number of electrons. This, in turn, determines the chemical properties of the atom. Protons contribute to the mass of an atom and provide positive charge to the atom. The number of protons also determines the identity of the element. Electrons have a negative charge. Since the atom has no charge, the number of electrons must equal the number of protons. The electrons arrange themselves in energy levels around the nucleus.
