Atomic Number

The atomic number (Z) of an element is the number of protons each atom of that element has in its nucleus; e.g., Z = 17 for chlorine (17Cl).

The atomic number was originally defined as an index describing the position of an element in the periodic table and it was not until 1913 that it was known that it was a unit of measurement.
