It is the number of protons of an atom, which determines its atomic number. For hydrogen, 𝑍 = 1, because in
hydrogen, only one proton is present in the nucleus. Therefore, the atomic number is defined as the total number
of protons present in the nucleus of an atom. The mass number is the sum of the total number of protons and
neutrons present in the nucleus.
