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.

How are atomic number and atomic mass alike?

Atomic number and atomic mass are not alike. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element. Each element has a unique atomic number. Atomic mass is the combined masses of the protons, neutrons, and electrons of the atoms of an element. Individual isotopes of an element have specific mass numbers, which are the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nuclei of the atoms of the isotope.
