OpenStudy (kat_s123):

"Every atom has one or more electrons that surround its nucleus in layered arrangements called orbitals. Each orbital signifies a certain exact amount of energy in the atom, and complex atoms such as iron and gold have dozens of electrons situated in many orbitals. Because of their orbitals, electrons absorb and emit energy in distinct and identifiable ways."

OpenStudy (kat_s123):

So basically, it's how many electrons an element has. Because each element has a distinct amount of electrons.
