Atoms atomic number represents their number of protons.
The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons and electrons that an element has.
Yes, isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass on the periodic table is often listed as a range for an element.
No, there is no naturally occurring element with the same atomic number and atomic mass. The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes, which have different numbers of neutrons. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its identity. Therefore, the atomic number and atomic mass are different for each element.

No, atomic mass and atomic number are not the same thing. Atomic mass represents the average mass of an atom of an element, which includes the mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atomic number, on the other hand, represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which also determines the element's identity on the periodic table.
The atomic number is the same for all isotopes.
No, the element remains the same even when the atomic mass changes. Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, but changing the number of neutrons does not change the identity of the element.
Because the atomic number is the number of protons in an element. If you change the atomic number you will have a completely different element. The mass number changes because the number of neutrons is different.
No, the mass number is not the same as the atomic mass. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of an element, taking into account their abundance.
both the atomic number and the atomic mass remain the same
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same after the emission of a beta particle by a radioactive atom.
