In the Periodic Table, the atomic number is equal to the number of PROTONS  PER ATOM or NUMBER OF ELECTRONS PER NEUTRAL ATOM.

Explanation:

Different elements have different atomic numbers; therefore, atoms of different elements contain different numbers of protons (and electrons). Oxygen has the atomic number 8; its atoms contain 8 protons and 8 electrons. Uranium has the atomic number 92; its atoms contain 92 protons and 92 electrons.

The relationship between atomic number and the number of protons or electrons can be stated as follows:

Atomic number

= number of protons per atom

= number of electrons per neutral atom

the answer would be knowledge about cars!

the answer is cell division : )
