The atomic number tells us the number of electrons and the number of protons., i.e. Atomic Number = Number of electrons = Number of Protons. The Atomic Mass tells the total number of particles in the nucleus, i.e. Atomic Mass = # of protons + number of neutrons. The Group number is the heading at the top of a column in the table. It tells the the outer electron configuration of the atom. This determines many chemical properties of the element.
