Concept Introduction:
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons of an element whereas sum of number of protons and number of neutrons is equal to mass number.
A form of chemical element having same atomic number but differ by mass number is known as isotopes. In nuclide notation of isotope, the mass number of the isotope is present in superscript in front of the
