Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'atomic' (pertaining to atoms) + 'number' (a positional or identifying numeral) + '113' (the specific numeral) directly yields 'the atomic/position number 113', which indicates the element with that atomic number. This construction maps transparently across languages and a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer it refers to the element identified by the number 113 even if they do not know the element name nihonium.
Etymology
The phrase atomic number 113 labels the chemical 'element' that has the number 113, like a house on a long street with that number. So, think of a row of elements numbered like houses and house 113 is called 'nihonium', which is why the phrase means that specific element.
