Answer:

number of protons and neutrons

Step-by-step explanation:

hey there,

< Electrons do not count toward the overall atomic mass of an atom, so the atomic mass of an atom is the size of protons + neutrons.

(Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus.) >

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.
