HEYYA FRIEND HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

ATOMIC NUMBER OF AN ELEMENT IS IS FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTY BECAUSE NO TWO ELEMENTS HAVE THE SAME ATOMIC NUMBER. FOR EXAMPLE, HYDROGEN HAS AN ATOMIC NUMBER OF 1. NO OTHER ELEMENT HAS ATOMIC NUMBER OF 1.
ON THE OTHER HAND ATOMIC MASSES CAN BE THE SAME IN CASE OF TWO ATOMS. LIKE THE ATOMIC MASS OF BOTH ARGON AND CALCIUM IS 40.
