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

Describe how atomic emission spectrums came about, and what they say about atoms/electrons.
algol [13]

Answer:

Atomic emission spectrum came out by a series of colored lines

Explanation:

When electricity is passing through an element or when it is viewing through a prism, a unique spectra of light emitted by an element is called atomic emission spectra. They are acting as an element of finger print because they are unique.  When we are seeing a set of colored lines or a black background  , it is an emission spectrum. If we are watching black lines on a colored background it is absorption spectrum.  In electromagnetic spectrum the visible portion are the colors.

In nucleus electrons can exist in some areas are known as shells. Shell corresponds an energy level that is designed by a quantum number n. The lowest energy level electrons are close to the nucleus.

An atom is shone by light, its electrons absorbs photons and it gain energy, and jump to higher level.
