ATOMIC number
The number of protons in the nucleus
of an atom, which determines the
element's identity and its position in
the periodic table.
Example: The atomic number of
carbon is 6, meaning every carbon
atom has 6 protons.
MASS NUMBER
The total number of protons
and neutrons in an atom's
nucleus.
