उत्तर
sometimes more than and sometimes equal to its atomic number
Mass number of a nucleus is defined as the sum of the number of neutron and protons present in the nucleus, i.e. the number of nucleons in the nucleus, whereas atomic number is equal to the number of protons present. Therefore, the atomic number is smaller than the mass number. But in the nucleus (like that of hydrogen 1H1), only protons are present. Due to this, the mass number is equal to the atomic number.

In a periodic table the average atomic mass of magnesium is given as 24.312 u. The average value is based on their relative natural abundance on earth. The three isotopes and their masses are `""_12^24Mg` (23.98504u), `""_12^25 Mg` (24.98584u) and `""_12^26Mg` (25.98259u). The natural abundance of `""_12^24 Mg` is 78.99% by mass.
