    X

    · The atomic number of an element is denoted by the letter Z.
    · The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of a particular element, and it determines the element's identity and position in the periodic table.
    For example, in the notation of an element, such as:


    · Z represents the atomic number (number of protons).
    · A represents the mass number (number of protons + neutrons).
    · X is the chemical symbol for the element.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · A: This represents the mass number, which is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
    · X: This typically represents the symbol of the element in chemical notation.
    · N: This sometimes refers to the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus but is not used for the atomic number.
