[edit] "Atomic Number (Z)"
Why it is Z? or not for example M or P? Thx in advance for answering me. Martin from Poland.
- I was looking at other sources and I cannot find a reason for any letter to be placed after the atomic number - there is no unit. GotPSP 21:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe it is because the German word for number begins with a Z, but I'm just guessing. Itub 08:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion of the article
can u plz further explain?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.156.6.54 (talk) 10:21, 31 January 2006.
- Yes I put the expansion tag in the article. BTW I changed the name of this discussion to a more apporite name for the topic.---Scott3 Talk Contributions Count: 950+ 01:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge material from List of elements by atomic number
I don't see a reason for this list to exist separately when the existing atomic number article is requested for expansion. Catchpole 12:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

- I do. There's a lot of information about the significance of the atomic number that should be added instead. The list serves as a stand-alone reference of all kinds of chemical data, and just happens to be sorted by atomic number (the same list exists sorted by atomic weight, symbol, and name). --Spangineerws (háblame) 23:05, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that this list should be merged into the Atomic number article. There is no justification for a number of lists of elements, each sorted by a different criterion, and each constituting a separate article. The reason for the specific list is the sorting criterion and should therefore be a part of that.--EvenT 15:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- I also agree with this proposal. However, the table, so sorted should appear on the Atomic_number page as it is useful. When somebody needs this sorting, one seeks for the word Atomic Number and not the full phrase "List of Elements by atomic number". Today I did the same thing and out of the search I had to make trial and error to reach the correct page. -- Dr. Dinesh Karia 17:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Atomicity
Why does this article include a paragraph on atomicity? Should it be expanded into a section that ties in with Z? (And if so, how?) Or would anyone mind if I just deleted it? Querl 02:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- I had a similar thought when I did a cleanup of the article. The paragraph seems like it belongs in some article, but it wasn't immediately apparant to me which one. It's more closely related to molecules than to atomic number. -- Mainstream Nerd 03:48, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
