1. how are atomic number and the number of protons related to each other?
2. how do the number of protons, number of neutrons, and th mass number relate to each other?
3. What is one thing that detemines the identity of an atom (that is, whether it is an oxygen atom or a carbon atom, etc)?
Please help me answer this questions, Thank you so much

| This is not a site to cut and paste homework questions for others to answer. If you showed more evidence that you tried I'd help.

For any element:
Number of Protons = Atomic Number
Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number
Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number
using krypton as an example:
Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36
Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36
Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 84 - 36 = 48
