Explanation:

The atomic number, Z, specifies the number of protons, positively charged nuclear particles, present in the nucleus of an atom. And Z specifies the identity of the element. Z=1, the element is hydrogen; Z=2, the element is helium; Z=3, the element is lithium; ..........................Z=47, the element is silver.
