(Z) The number of protons in an atomic nucleus . The atomic number and the element symbol are two alternate ways to label an element. In nuclide symbols , the atomic number is a leading subscript; for example, in 126C, the "6" is the atomic number.

In chemistry and physics, the atomic number (also known as the proton number) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It is traditionally represented by the symbol Z. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an atom of neutral charge, the number of electrons also equals the atomic number.
