Answer:

I think it is the atomic mass, or the atomic weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number above the symbol is the atomic mass (or atomic weight). This is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The number below the symbol is the atomic number and this reflects the number of protons in the nucleus of each element's atom.

(I'm so sorry if I'm wrong)

Hope this Helps!
