Atomic number indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element, whereas atomic mass results from protons and neutrons.
The mass number is always greater than or equal to the atomic number. Beyond that it's not really possible to say.
The element with the greater atomic number will have a greater atomic mass. Atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, and since the number of protons increases with atomic number, so does the atomic mass.
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons in an atom
protons is the same number as the atomic number always and protons plus the average number of neutrons makes up the atomic mass
The Atomic Number of an element is the number of Protons in its nucleus, that is what determines what element the atom is. The Atomic Mass is the total mass of Protons, Neutrons, and (negligable) Electrons, but that means the Atomic Mass will be larger than the Atomic Number.

Atomic no.=no. of protons Atomic mass=no. of protons+no. of neutrons Hence, atomic mass is greater
Atomic no.=no. of protons Atomic Mass=no. of protons+no. of neutrons Hence, atomic mass is greater
Yes
No.
No. Atomic number is always a whole number. This would be the atomic mass.
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons in an atom
No. The atomic number only counts the number of protons or electrons in an atom, but the mass number counts at least the number of protons, sometimes the electrons and the number of neutrons if any. The closest they will get is being the same (Hydrogen with AN=1, MN=1), but the mass number will almost always be bigger than the atomic number.
Electron (beta minus) decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 1 Positron (beta plus) and electron capture decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number decrease with 1 Double beta decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 2
Which has a greater atomic mass,flurine
protons is the same number as the atomic number always and protons plus the average number of neutrons makes up the atomic mass
