Can a decimal number be a whole number?
No. A whole number is a number with no fractional (decimal) part. Therefore a decimal number can not be a whole number. Another view: 35.0 is a whole number AND a decimal. The fact that a number is a decimal does not automatically require it to have a fractional part. Even 35 is a decimal number (without a decimal point).

What is the decimal number of 7.15?
7.15 IS a decimal number.
in an element box what does the number with a decimal stand for?
The number with a decimal in an element box represents the average atomic mass of the element. It is calculated based on the abundance of each isotope of the element in nature.
What do whole numbers on the periodic table represent?
The whole number, the one at the top, above the element's symbol in the element box, is the atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons per atom in that particular element. The bottom number, that is always a decimal, is the atomic mass.
What does the decimal number in an element key represent?
atomic mass
The number of protons in an element is the?
The number of protons in an element is the atomic number, which can be found in the top right corner of the box containing the element.
What is included in the box for each element?
For carbon, each element box contains the element's name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and electron configuration. For hydrogen, the box includes the element's name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and electron configuration.
Why is the atomic number a decimal number?
It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of the element in question and so is always an integer. And, because we count in tens the number is a decimal integer.
A element box contains the name atomic number and what else?

Does sodium have ten neutrons?
No, sodium typically has 12 neutrons. Sodium's atomic number is 11, which means it normally has 11 protons, making it a neutral atom by having 11 electrons as well. The number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, which is usually around 23 for sodium.
