Morphology
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'atomic' (relating to atoms) + 'number' (a numeric identifier) + the numeral '111' directly denotes the element with that atomic number (roentgenium). Although technical, the naming logic is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words and numerals can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Atomic number 111 names the chemical element that has exactly 111 protons in its atoms. So, saying atomic number 111 means the specific element 'roentgenium', a very rare, short-lived radioactive metal.
