∙ 9y agoThey are the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. Since it is a count of protons, it must be a whole number.

What are two ways in which whole numbers and decimal numbers are different?
Whole numbers are a proper subset of decimal numbers. All whole numbers are decimal numbers but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers.
Are all whole numbers intengers?
Yes all whole numbers are integers
Why are all whole numbers not rational numbers?
All whole numbers are rational numbers because they can be expressed as a fraction of integers.
What are the whole numbers?
The whole numbers are all numbers zero and up (including zero ).
How do you change whole numbers to prime numbers?
You don't. All prime numbers are also whole numbers.
What element has the atomic number for 3.14?
No element has this atomic number. All atomic numbers are whole numbers.
Why are the elements 94 through 110 in the periodic table whole numbers?
1. All the atomic numbers are whole numbers. 2. If you think to atomic weight of heavy radioactive elements (atomic numbers from 93 to 118) is a rule of IUPAC to indicate in square parenthesis, [], the atomic mass of the most stable or known isotope.
Why is the relative atomic mass of chloride not a whole number?
Because relitive atomic masses are NEVER whole numbers.
Why are atomic numbers listed as whole numbers?
The atomic number is derived from how many protons are present in the nucleus of an atom. Becaue you cannot have a fraction of a proton present in an atom, atomic numbers must be non negative integers.
Why are all atomic numbers all whole numbers and most atomic mass number end with a decimals?
this is because the atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this never changes. However, the recorded atomic mass is a weighted average of all of the isotopes of the atom, because atomic mass is the number protons plus the number of neutrons, and the number of neutrons in an atom differs, causing different atomic masses.
Why the atomic mass numbers listed for elements on the Periodic Table are not whole numbers.?
Why are atomic masses of elements not generally whole numbers? The atomic masses listed on the periodic table are a weighted AVERAGE of an element'sisotopes. ... An element's atomic number is the number of protons in its nucleus. Number of protons specifies atom type.
Why don27t elements in the periodic table have whole numbers for their atomic masses?
Because the masses of protons, neutrons and electrons are not whole numbers.
How are decimals and whole numbers similar?
All whole numbers are decimal numbers.
Is some whole numbers are not integers?
No. All whole numbers are integers and all integers are whole numbers.
What are two ways in which whole numbers and decimal numbers are different?
Whole numbers are a proper subset of decimal numbers. All whole numbers are decimal numbers but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers.
Can a number be both whole and irrational?
No. No irrational numbers are whole, and all whole numbers are rational.
What number is the whole number found in the periodic table?
There are two numbers that are included in every element's block on every periodic table. The whole number, which can range from 1 - 118 is the atomic number of that element. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of that element. The second number is the atomic weight and is never a whole number, except for the artificially prepared elements, and then it is a whole number written inside parentheses.There may be other numbers listed as well, depending on the periodic table. All periodic tables have a key as to what everything inside each block represents.
