Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atom, plus any additional mass conferred by electrons. (Since electrons are roughly 1/1837th of a proton's mass, this additional mass is minuscule and is only represented in atoms that have atomic numbers at the higher end of the table.) It should be an integer/whole number.
The reason that most elements have a number with decimals for their Atomic Mass numbers on the Periodic Table is because those numbers average all of the different isotopes of the element in proportion to how common they are. For example, Oxygen has an atomic mass number of 15.999 since the overwhelming majority of oxygens have 8 protons and 8 neutrons for a total atomic mass number of 16, but there are some rare oxygens with 8 protons and 7 neutrons for a total atomic mass number of 15. Once these are averaged, since the 16s are much more common, the resulting number is 15.999.

By definition, one mole would be the same as the atomic mass. You take the number of moles and multiply it by the atomic mass. So if you have just 1 mole, the number of grams will be the atomic mass. Nitrogen's atomic mass is 14.007 grams.
By definition, one mole would be the same as the atomic mass. You take the number of moles and multiply it by the atomic mass (divide by one mole for units to cancel). So if you have just 1 mole, the number of grams will be the atomic mass. Helium's atomic mass is 4.003 grams.
83.98 amu is the Atomic Mass, 36 is the atomic number.
No, the atomic mass is not equal to the atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic mass can differ from the atomic number, especially due to the presence of neutrons.
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
The number of protons in an atom of any atomic number is the same as the atomic number, because that is the definition of atomic number. Therefore, in the given question, the answer is 34; the mass number is not needed to answer.
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
The atomic mass unit (AMU) of carbon is approximately 12.01 AMU.

12. The number 12 refers to the atomic mass. More precisely, to the sum of neutrons + protons; but this is usually close to the atomic mass. In the case of carbon-12, it is exact, by definition.
83.98 amu is the Atomic Mass, 36 is the atomic number.

We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
The atomic number is the number of a chemical element in the periodic table of Mendeleev; the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass is the mass of an atom expressed in relative atomic mass units.
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
The atomic number is 88 and the atomic mass is 226
