"There are now 118 confirmed chemical elements in the periodic table. A chemical element describes atoms which share the same specific number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number or Z). For example, all atoms of carbon, regardless of their number of electrons (determines ionisation) or neutrons (determines isotope), have six nuclear protons, i.e. carbon has an atomic number of 6."
