OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I find the number of protons and then find what element has that number?

yes

Okay so mine would be silicon

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

The atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

yes

Is it Ionic?

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

Do you know what Ionic means?

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know there are ionic bonds

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so mine is not Ionic because the number of electrons is equal to the protons

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

that's right, straight from your data and the definition of ion.
