The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
The mass number is the average total of the number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nuclei of all the isotopes of that element on earth. Thus, the average number of neutrons in that element can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

They are called isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element, and have the same atomic number (number of protons). However , they differ in the number of neutrons, so their atomic masses aren't the same. For example, chlorine has two stable isotopes, ³⁵Cl which makes up 76% and ³⁷Cl makes up 24%. ³⁶Cl is only a trace amount and is radioactive. The superscript in front of the chemical symbol is the mass number. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom, in this case chlorine.
The sum of all Protons and Neutrons.
The nucleus makes up nearly all of the mass of an atom, with over 99% of its mass concentrated in the nucleus. Within the nucleus, most of the mass is found in the protons and neutrons, while the electrons surrounding the nucleus contribute very little to the overall mass.

Mass and atoms
The nucleus makes up most of the mass and the other things in the atom make up the rest.
Atoms and elements can vary in many ways. Atoms mainly vary by having different numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons. The count of protons makes up an elements mass number.
The mass number is the average total of the number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nuclei of all the isotopes of that element on earth. Thus, the average number of neutrons in that element can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
To find the mass of He containing the same number of atoms as 5.0 g Kr, we need to use the fact that atoms are indivisible entities. First, determine the number of atoms in 5.0 g Kr using the molar mass of Kr. Then, calculate the mass of He containing the same number of atoms by dividing the atomic mass of He by Avogadro's number and scaling it up to match the number of Kr atoms.

The molar mass is the sum of the atomic weights of atoms contained in the molecule.

The sum of all Protons and Neutrons.
Protons and neutrons are the primary contributors to an atom's mass. Electrons make up an insignificant amount of mass. Atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Can't you check the periodic table dumbo anyways just add up the protons and electrons to get mass number.
