	Method of imaging the atomic number of a sample - Patent 4571491
		Atomic number imaging by a computerized axial tomographic scanner (hereinafter referred to as "CAT") is based on the fact that X-ray attenuation depends both on the density and the chemical composition of a material.
		A plurality of calibration materials which have a plurality of different known atomic numbers and densities are scanned with a CAT at a first energy to determine the attenuation coefficients for the plurality of calibration materials at the first energy.
		For a mixture containing several elements, the effective atomic number Z* is defined as: ##EQU1## where f.sub.i is the fraction of electrons on the i.sup.th element of atomic number Z.sub.i, relative to the total number of electrons in the mixture, that is, ##EQU2## where n.sub.i is the number of moles of element i.

	Atomic number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry and physics, the atomic number (Z) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.
		It was later shown that the atomic number corresponds to the electric charge of the nucleus — in other words the number of protons.
		The atomic number is closely related to the mass number (although they should not be confused) which is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

	Glossary [A-Bomb to AWACS] \| atomicarchive.com
		The atomic number of an element, which indicates its place in the periodic table of elements, is the number of protons (positively charged particles) in the nucleus of one of its atoms.
		Atomic number is often symbolized with the letter Z and is shown as a numerical subscript to the left of its chemical symbol.
		For example, the letter C preceded by a superscript number 12 and a subscript number 6 indicates a carbon atom of atomic mass 12 and atomic number 6, the difference being equal to the number of neutrons present in the nucleus.

		The numbers of protons, electrons and neutrons in a particular isotope of a particular atom are given in a periodic table by the mass number and atomic number.
		N.B.: As the atomic number increases the number of protons in the nucleus increase, which increases the attraction of the electrons to the nucleus; however, this increase in positive charge is overridden by the increased distance of the negative electrons from the nucleus.
		At beryllium (atomic number 4) the 2s orbital is full and therefore the energy needed to remove an electron is higher than that for lithium (atomic number 3).

		The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
		The number of protons in a nucleus is called the atomic number and always equals the number of electrons in orbit about that nucleus (in a nonionized atom).
		Its chemical behavior is determined by the atomic number 2 (the number of protons), which equals the normal number of electrons; the stability of its nucleus (that is, its radioactivity) varies with its atomic weight (approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons).

	ELEMENT - Definition
		They are roughly divided into two great classes, the metals, as sodium, calcium, etc., which form basic compounds, and the nonmetals or metalloids, as oxygen, sulphur, chlorine, which form acid compounds; but the distinction is only relative, and some, as arsenic, tin, aluminium, etc., form both acid and basic compounds.
		When the elements are tabulated in the order of their ascending atomic weights, the arrangement constitutes the series of the Periodic law of Mendelejeff.
		The number of elements known is about seventy-five, but the gaps in the Periodic law indicate the possibility of many more.
