The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The atomic weight is the average mass of one atom of an element, expressed in atomic mass units (amu).<\/p>\n<p>The mass number is always greater than or equal to the atomic number, because the number of neutrons is always greater than or equal to zero. The mass number is always less than or equal to the atomic weight, because the atomic weight is affected by the mass of the electrons, which are not present in the nucleus.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because the mass number is always greater than or equal to the atomic number.
