Explanation:

the atomic number of an atom is based upon the number of protons (and electrons). A stable (neutral) atom will always have the same number of protons and electrons. The atomic weight is the combination of both protons and neutrons.

Answer:

the difference between atomic weight and atomic number is as follows:--

atomic weight and atomic number of elements are said to closely related because whenever the atomic number is high the atomic mass is also said to be high. but again that brings us to the question what is the difference between atomic mass and atomic weight.

atomic weight is associated with the number of neutrons and protons that are present in a particular nucleus of an element.

atomic number is usually the number of protons present in an element nucleus.

atomic weight is the average weight of an element.

it is the total number of nucleons in the atoms nucleus.

atomic weight is denoted by A.

the letter Z is used to represent an atomic number.

atomic mass cannot be used to define type of element.

atomic number mainly helps in the classification and identification of an element.

atomic weight is also used to classify different isotopes of the same element.

isotopes only share the same atomic number.
