Fundamentals Of Chemistry

Atomic Number and Atomic mass

Chemistry
  • Atomic mass (A) - mass of an atom - it tells the number of proton and neutron present in the nucleus for example Nitrogen has 7 proton and 7 neutron so atomic mass of nitrogen will be 14

  • Atomic number (Z) - number of protons in the nucleus of an atom for example carbon has 6 proton so atomic number of carbon will be 6
