What is the atomic number of Wheat?

There is no atomic number for wheat, because wheat is not an element, it is made up of many elements. I don't know exactly why you are asking this, but if someone told you there is an atomic number for wheat, then you are mistaken, and they are probably playing a trick on you, and embarrassing you.


Is this statement correct atoms are made up of nucleus and electrons composed of protons whose number is called the atomic number and neutrons whose numbers added together make the mass number?

It's close, but an atom is made of a nucleus and electrons. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. The number of protons equals the atomic number of the element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons plus neutrons.


If an atom is made up of 6 protons 7 neutrons and 6 electrons then what is it's atomic number?

All you need to determine the atomic number is the amount of protons, because it is these sub-atomic particles which enable us to identify an atom. All atoms of the same element have a unique number of protons. In this case, the atomic number is six.

How many nucleons does an oxygen with a mass number of 17 and an atomic number of 8 have?

There are no 'nucleons' in an Oxygen atom. You mean 'neutrons'. As all the mass of an atom is in its nucleus (made up of 'protons' and 'neutrons') and as the Atomic Number is the count of how many 'protons' there are, if you subtract the Atomic Number form the Atomic Mass, you get the number of 'nutrons'. 17-8=9.
