Atomic Nmber is the amount of Electrons and Protons in a paticular element. These may vary as the element changes.
Mass Number is the Total Number of Protons and Neutrons in the nucleus which may differ per elements. The Mass Number is related to the Atomicnumber beacuase of protons.
For Eg. C (Carbon) is an element in the Periodic Table (Non-Metal).
C has an Atomic Number of 6 and Mass Number of 12.01 Approximately =12.
I hope that Helps!
