proton number

The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number (Z). This number is very important because it is unique for atoms of a given element. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms.
Me: I can name all the elements by proton number: hydrogen helium lithium beryllium boron carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine neon sodium magnesium aluminum silicon phosphorus sulphur chlorine argon potassium calcium scandium titanium vanadium chromium manganese iron cobalt nickel copper zinc gallium germanium arsenic selenium bromine krypton rubidium strontium yttrium zirconium niobium molybdenum technetium ruthenium rhodium palladium silver cadmium indium tin antimony tellurium iodine xenon cesium barium lanthanum cerium praseodymium neodymium promethium samarium europium gadolinium terbium dysprosium holmium erbium thulium ytterbium lutetium hafnium tantalum tungsten rhenium osmium iridium platinum gold mercury thallium lead bismuth polonium astatine radon francium radium actinium thorium protactinium uranium neptunium plutonium americium curium berkelium californium einsteinium fermium mendelevium nobelium lawrencium rutherfordium dubnium seaborgium bohrium hassium meitnerium darmstadtium roentgenium copernicium nihonium flerovium moscovium livermorium tennessine oganesson.
Tom: Yes, that’s great.
Me: And now on to the symbols: HHeLiBeBCNOFNeNaMgAlSiPSClArKCaScTiVCrMnFeCoNiCuZnGaGeAsSeBrKrRbSrYZrNbMoTcRuRhPdAgCdInSnSbTeIXecsBaLaCePrNdPmS,EuGdTbDyHoErTmYbLuHfTaWReOsIrPtAuHgTlPbBiPoAtRnFrRaAcThPaUNpPuAmCmBkCfEsFmMdNoLrRfDbSgBhHsMtDsRgCnNhFlMcLvTsOg.

Proton

Nickname of someone amazing. Anyone who call themselves Proton is an absolute genius. A Proton is always positive and so are the people nicknamed Proton. If you know one, you're a lucky fellow ! They bring fun to another level. They might be a little weird (and send unexpected letters) but if a Proton befriended you you better be prepared for the best years of your life!
I'm hanging out with Proton today!

Proton's dances skills sure are something!

Proton Smashing

When two people place a large ball on their forehead and run towards each other attempting to 'smash the proton.' Ultimately results in minor concussion symptoms and a hell of a lot of fun for people watching.
