What number is the whole number found in the periodic table?

There are two numbers that are included in every element's block on every periodic table. The whole number, which can range from 1 - 118 is the atomic number of that element. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of that element. The second number is the atomic weight and is never a whole number, except for the artificially prepared elements, and then it is a whole number written inside parentheses.There may be other numbers listed as well, depending on the periodic table. All periodic tables have a key as to what everything inside each block represents.
