2. Atom Vocabulary G Mass number - sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. G Atomic mass - the average mass of all isotopes of an element. G Atomic number - the number of protons in the nucleus. G Isotopes - atoms with the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons. Such as Carbon 12, 13, and 14.
