Answer:

ATOMIC NUMBER

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. ... The number of protons determines how many electrons surround the nucleus, and it is the arrangement of these electrons that determines most of the chemical behavior of an element.The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or the number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom. For example, in a sodium atom, there are 11 electrons and 11 protons. Thus the atomic number of Na atom = number of electrons = number of protons = 11.

MASS NUMBER

The mass number, also called atomic mass number or nucleon number, is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. It is approximately equal to the atomic mass of the atom expressed in atomic mass units. For example, an atom of carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Thus, its mass number is 12. While the number of protons remains the same in all atoms of an element, the number of neutrons can vary.

ISOTOPE

Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in a nucleus determines the element's atomic number on the Periodic Table. For example, carbon has six protons and is atomic number 6.

Hope it helps!!!
