element with 14 protons, 14 neutrons and 14 electrons is?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_number http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/mass/atomic-mass.htm
So I find the number of protons and then find what element has that number?
yes
The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element.
Okay so mine would be silicon
The atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.
yes
Is it Ionic?
Do you know what Ionic means?
An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion
I know there are ionic bonds
?
bond in which one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom, resulting in positive and negative ions which attract each other.
Okay so mine is not Ionic because the number of electrons is equal to the protons
that's right, straight from your data and the definition of ion.
