the Atomic Mass # differ from the Atomic #? The atomic mass differs from the atomic number by the fact that the atomic mass is composed of the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus‚ and the atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus‚ and is identical to the charge of the atom. 3) What is an isotope? Give an example (show how it is an isotope). An isotope is a form of the same atom that differs from the original atom in atomic mass
