The mass number tells us the number (the sum) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.

the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
No, it is impossible.
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
Subtract the atom number from the mass number to get the neutron. Mass number is the sum of neutrons and electrons. Atom number is the number of electrons. the number of electrons is equivalent to the number of protons.
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for Atomic Mass.

To find the number of neutrons in an atom with an atomic number of 12 (which is the number of protons), you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass number. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom. For an atom with an atomic number of 12, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting 12 from the atomic mass number given for that specific atom.

You can't change the mass number of an atom because the mass number is the number of protons which is the atom's atomic number I hope this helped :)
