Why is atomic number always calculated from the number of protons in the nucleus and not from the number of electrons present in the extra nuclear part?

The sun is believed to be getting its energy form the fusion of four protons to form a helium nucleus and a pair of positrons. Calculate the release of energy per fusion in MeV. Mass of proton=1.007825 a.m.u. , mass of positron =0.000549 a.m.u., mass of helium nucleus =4.002603 a.m.u. Take 1a.m.u. =931MeV.
