Atomic number is equal to the number of:

Answer: Protons.

  • A Neutrons
  • B Protons
  • C Mass units
  • D Shells

Correct answer: B. Protons

Explanation: Atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
