Protons and electrons
Why are atomic masses of elements not generally whole numbers? The atomic masses listed on the periodic table are a weighted AVERAGE of an element'sisotopes. ... An element's atomic number is the number of protons in its nucleus. Number of protons specifies atom type.
Different atoms and elements that have different number of protns, neutrons and electrons.Duh!
Animals are not atoms and have neither an atomic number nor an atomic mass.
Elements in the periodic table are arranged based on their atomic number, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. This arrangement helps to group elements with similar properties together in periods and groups.
the bigger the mass of an element, the higher its atomic number.
Atomic masses are determined by mass spectrometry. The atomic number is identic with the number of protons in the atom - depends on position in the periodic table.
Atoms have atomic weight not molar mass. Any atom-gram has 6,022 141 29(27)×1023 (this is the number of Avogadro) atoms.

Elements are arranged in a periodic table by atomic number, lower on top and left. Atomic masses have no direct relationship to the arrangement of atoms, although generally atoms with higher atomic numbers will have higher atomic masses. (There are at least three exceptions for atoms with atomic numbers differing by 1.)

Since you have isotopes of elements. Isotopes are elements with different number of neutrons hence why the different atomic masses for the same elements.
The atomic masses of most elements are not whole numbers because they take into account the average mass of all the isotopes of that element, which have different masses due to varying numbers of neutrons. This results in a weighted average that is not a whole number.
the atomic masses and atomic numbers... group number and period number... valence electrons and number of shells... these all determine the chemical properties of elements...
Elemental hydrogen and helium have atomic masses less than twice their atomic numbers.
