Question

What is the atomic number of nickel?

Answer 1

Got a Periodic Table handy?

Explanation:

I aks, because if you are doing your chemistry homework, you should have access to a Periodic Table. No one expects you to know offhand that the atomic number, `Z`, of `Ni=28`; this is why you would be issued with a Periodic Table in every chem and physics exam you ever sit. You will be expected to know what `Z` signifies in terms of atomic structure: how many protons; how many electrons; how many neutrons in `""^58Ni`. You will also be expected to know how the use the Table.
