Atomic Number definition: The number of protons within the nucleus of x atom.

Atomic Mass definition: The number of protons and/+ neutrons within the nucleus of x atom. 

The given information states that the element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nuclei with 8 electrons revolving around it. If the atomic number is 'the number of protons' and we have 8 given protons, our answer would be 8.  If the atomic mass is protons + neutrons and we have 8 protons and neutrons, our answer for atomic mass would inevitably be 16. 

Therefore

Atomic number: 8

Atomic mass: 16

Why potasium more reactive than lithium and sodium
frez [133]
So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

What is an ion? Describe and give an example.
Goshia [24]
An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.
