What dose the atomic number tells you?

The Atomic Number tells us the position of the element in the Periodic Table. It also tells us the number of protons and electrons in an atom of that element. The Atomic Mass/Weight is different. The Atomic Mass is the total numbers of nucleons ( protons and neutrons) in the nucleus of an atom. For a given element the atomic mass can vary. This is because the nucleus may have a different number of neutrons. These different masses of a given element are named 'Isotopes'.
