What is the difference between the ATOMIC NUMBER and ATOMIC MASS of an atom?

• The atomic number represents the number

  of protons in the nucleus of an atom; the atomic mass

  represents the number of protons and neutrons in the

  nucleus of an atom.

• Represents the number of protons and neutrons in

  the nucleus of an element’s atom.

• Represents a tiny subatomic particle with a negative

  electric charge that orbits around the nucleus.

Look at the diagram of a lithium atom and answer the questions.

What is the atomic number of lithium?

• 4, because it has 4 NEUTRONS

• 3, because it has 3 PROTONS

• 7, because it has 4 NEUTRONS and 3 PROTONS
