Got me.....

Explanation:

The atomic number, #Z#, specifies the number of protons, positively charged nuclear particles, present in the nucleus of an atom. And #Z# specifies the identity of the element. #Z=1#, the element is hydrogen; #Z=2#, the element is helium; #Z=3#, the element is lithium; ..........................#Z=47#, the element is silver.
