The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A neutral atom, you'll recall, is one where the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. We remember that atoms often "loan out" or "borrow" electrons, so the electron count will not always equal the proton count.

Is there any relationship between atomic mass and number of proteins and electrons?

Yes, there is a relationship between atomic mass and the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, as electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, in order to maintain a balanced charge.

What is the relationship between the electrons and neutrons and protons?

Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
