The element with a mass number of 23 is sodium. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, which means it has 11 protons and in its most common form, it has 12 neutrons to give it a mass number of 23.
First of all, an atom can not literally have either more than one mass number or more than one atomic number. Different atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers but the same atomic number because the atomic number is the defining characteristic of an element, but many elements have isotopes that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei and therefore different mass numbers: Mass numbers are the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Not by itself. The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in he nucleus for each isotope of the element, or for elements with more than one stable isotope is an average depending on the natural abundance of the stable isotopes of the element.
Iodine is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 127.
There is no element with an atomic number of 12 and an atomic mass of 8. Atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom, while atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of an element cannot be smaller than its atomic mass.
