"A chemical element is uniquely identified by its nuclear charge ''eZ''"--I had two years of chemistry in high school, over 20 years ago, so FWIW, this doesn't make any sense to me.  It seems to me that "atomic number" is a very basic sort of topic, in which phrases like "its nuclear charge ''eZ''" should be explained, not assumed.  Or am I wrong? --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 23:10, 11 June 2008 (CDT)
