Why are atomic numbers important?
Well, it provides the basis of the Periodic Table, and it explicitly differentiates the different types of element based on an integral number.

The atomic number specifies the number of protons in an element. The atomic number also determines the number of electrons and dictates the behavior of an element.
The atomic number is the same as the number of protons in an atom or element. The protons have a positive charge so the atomic number gives the positive charge on the atom or element.
A neutral atom will have an equal number of negative electrons to balance the number of protons. So the atomic number also gives the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
The number of electrons determines the electron configuration of the atom. The electron configuration determines the behavior of the atom or element.
The atomic number tells us important information: The number of protons, the positive charge, the number of electrons the negative charge, and the typical behavior of the element based on the electron configuration.

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which is characteristic of a particular element, is represented by an atomic number, which is significant because it determines the identity of an element and its position on the periodic table. Additionally, an element's chemical properties and position on the periodic table help predict how the element will behave in chemical reactions and how it will interact with other elements.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
