Any "stable bound system" is stable because there is a "mass deficit" or "binding energy" that is surrendered to the Universe at large. It takes that much or more energy to break the system apart...
The atomic weight is 15.9994 (slightly less than the atomic number 16).
Atomic number is the number of protons. Atomic mass is (mostly) the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons (more or less).
AlphaThe atomic number goes down by two and the atomic mass number goes down by four.Beta-The atomic number goes up by one and the atomic mass number stays the same.Beta+The atomic number goes down by one and the atomic mass number stays the same.
Chlorine, with the atomic number 17 has one less proton than argon, with the atomic number 18. The atomic number is the number of protons.
Elemental hydrogen and helium have atomic masses less than twice their atomic numbers.

None! The highest atomic number known is less than 130.

Atomic number: The number of protons in an atomic nucleus. (http://www.answers.com/topic/atomic-number) So the lowest atomic number is 1, which is hydrogen, as you cannot have an element with less than one proton.
The atomic mass of iodine is about 126.9 g/mol, which is indeed less than the atomic mass of many other elements. This low atomic mass for iodine is due to its position in the periodic table and the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
The atomic number of boron is 5, one less than the atomic number of the atom in the block to its immediate right.
atomic number
The element in group one with a higher atomic number than chlorine but lower atomic number than bromine is iodine. Its atomic number is 53, which is greater than chlorine's atomic number of 17 but less than bromine's atomic number of 35.
