	Mass number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mass number (A), also called atomic mass number or nucleon number, is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atomic nucleus.
		The mass number is unique for each isotope of an element and is written either after the element name or as a superscript to the left of an element's symbol.
		Thus the atomic number decreases by 1 (Z:7->6) and the mass number remains the same (A = 14), however the number of neutrons increases by 1.

	Atomic number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry and physics, the atomic number (Z) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.
		It was later shown that the atomic number corresponds to the electric charge of the nucleus — in other words the number of protons.
		The atomic number is closely related to the mass number (although they should not be confused) which is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

		mass number, often represented by the symbol A, the total number of nucleons (neutrons and protons) in the nucleus of an atom.
		All atoms of a chemical element have the same atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus) but may have different mass numbers (from having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus).
		Different isotopes of the same element cannot have the same mass number, but isotopes of different elements often do have the same mass number, e.g., carbon-14 (6 protons and 8 neutrons) and nitrogen-14 (7 protons and 7 neutrons).

		The mass calculator on the right may be used to calculate the exact mass of a molecule based on its elemental composition.

		The neutron number, N, is the number of neutrons in the nucleus, which is obviously equal to A — Z.
		The reason that we can get away with calling a pure number like the number of nucleons a mass number is that, if we multiply the atomic mass by a unit called the atomic mass unit, denoted u, then we get a good approximation for the mass of the given nucleus.
		The mass number A also gives us a measure of the molar atomic mass in the sense that the atomic mass is numerically equal to the mass in grams of Avogadro’s number of those nuclei.

	nucleus, in physics: The Nature of the Nucleus
		The total number of protons and neutrons together in a nucleus is the atomic mass number of the nucleus.
		When nuclear masses are measured, the mass is always found to be less than the sum of the masses of the individual nucleons bound in the nucleus.
		The difference between the nuclear mass and the sum of the individual masses is known as the mass defect and is due to the fact that some of the mass must be converted to energy in order to make the nucleus stable.
