Could an atom ever have a higher atomic number then a mass number?

No, atomic number (z) is always bigger or at least equal to mass number (m).
(If there were NO neutrons (n=0): z=p=m-n=m-0=m , ie. Hydrogen with p=1, n=0, z=m)

What is the atomic number of an atomic indicate?
Atomic number of an atom shows the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. OR Atomic number of an atom is the number of electrons in the atom when the atom neutrally charged
What does the atomic number of silver tell you about?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. In electrically neutral atoms, the number is also equal to the amount of electrons orbiting around the nucleus of the atom. The higher the atomic number the heavier the atom. The atomic number of silver is 47 and therefore number of protons/electrons is 47. It has 67 neutrons.
What is the atomic number of in atom?
atomic number is how much protons(positive atom) and neutrons(neutral atom) are there in an element. therefore an atom does not have an atomic number
What atomic number of an atom is?
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the atomic number of an atom determained by the number of what?
The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons it has.
What relationship does an atomic number have to the periodic table?
The atomic symbols in a modern periodic table are usually arranged so that, from left to right, each atom has an atomic number higher by 1 than the atom immediately to the left, and the first atom in a period has an atomic number higher by 1 than the rightmost atom in the period immediately above.

What is atomic number of an atom is?
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in its nucleus.
What atomic number of an atom is?
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
is a Atomic number the number of an atom's?
Atomic number is the number of protons in a neutral atom
The number of protons in an atom of an element?
It is equal to the no. of electrons in the atom. It is called the atomic number.
How does an atom get its atomic number?
An atom's atomic number is the number of protons within the single atom of an element
What does the atomic number determmine?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element. It is the number of protons that determines the atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. So in a way you could say that atomic number determines the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
