Question
Differentiate mass number from atomic number.
✓
Answer
| Sr. No. | Atomic number | Mass number |
| 1. | The number of electrons or protons in an atom is called atomic number of that atom. | The number of protons and neutrons present is its nucleus is called mass number of that atom. |
| 2. | It is represented by the letter Z | It is represented by the letter ‘A’. |
| 3. | Example: Helium (He) has 2 protons and two electrons hence its atomic number will be 2. | Example: Sodium (Na) has 11 protons and 12 Neutrons hence its mass number A= 11 + 12 = 23 |
