Answer:


\underline{ \boxed{atomic \: number = atomic \: mass - neutron \: number}} \\ \underline{ \boxed{atomic \: mass = proton \: number + neutron \: number}} \\ \underline{ \boxed{neutron \: number = atomic \: mass - proton \: number}}

Step-by-step explanation:


\underline{ \boxed{1}} \\ ATOMIC \: NUMBER = (atomic \: mass \: number\: - neutron \: number \: )\\ (which \: is \: same \: as ) = \: \underline{ \boxed{proton \: number}}\\ \\ \underline{ \boxed{2}} \\ ATOMIC \: MASS = (proton \: number \: + neutron \:number) \\ (is \: same \: as ) = \: \underline{ \boxed{sum \: of \:atomic \: nuclear \: content}} \\ \\ \underline{ \boxed{3}} \\ neutrons = (atomic \: mass \: number - proton \: number) \\

Step-by-step explanation:

Atomic Number :

It only explain number of protons and electrons in nuclous

Atomic Mass :

Atomic mass tell how much neutrons are present in atom.
