Atomic number: Atomic number (z) is the number of protons in an atom; it is also equal to the number of electrons in the atom.
Atomic number = Number of protons
Example: The atomic number of an element is 12 then its atom contains 12 protons and 12 electrons.
Mass Number: The mass number (A) is defined as the sum of the number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. Example: Mass number of Nitrogen atom is 14 then it contains 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
Mass number = Protons + Neutrons
