Atomic Number and Mass Number

Atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom of an element
Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom
The atomic number is written as a subscript, and the mass number is a superscript
Both the atomic number and mass number are written on the left side of the symbol of the element
The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in the atom
The atomic number helps to represent an atom and is called an atomic representation

Examples of Elements

Hydrogen: symbol - H, atomic number - 1, mass number - 1
Lithium: symbol - Li, atomic number - 3, mass number - 7
Lithium has 3 protons and 4 neutrons, therefore the mass number of lithium is 3 + 4 = 7
