To find the atomic number of an element given that the mass of the total positive charge present in an atom is 16533 times that of the mass of an electron, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between protons and atomic number The atomic number (Z) of an element is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Since the positive charge in an atom is due to protons, we can express the total mass of the positive charge in terms of the number of protons. ### Step 2: Define the mass of an electron The mass of an electron (m_e) is approximately \(9.1 \times 10^{-31}\) kg. ...
