Answer:
The mass number (symbol A, from the German word Atomgewicht [atomic weight]),[1] also called atomic mass number or nucleon number, is the total number of protons and neutrons (together known as nucleons) in an atomic nucleus. It is approximately equal to the atomic (also known as isotopic) mass of the atom expressed in atomic mass units. Since protons and neutrons are both baryons, the mass number A is identical with the baryon number B as of the nucleus as of the whole atom or ion. The mass number is different for each different isotope of a chemical element. Hence, the difference between the mass number and the atomic number Z gives the number of neutrons (N) in a given nucleus: N = A − Z.[2]
The mass number is written either after the element name or as a superscript to the left of an element's symbol. For example, the most common isotope of carbon is carbon-12, or 12
C
, which has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. The full isotope symbol would also have the atomic number (Z) as a subscript to the left of the element symbol directly below the mass number: 12
6C

Monosaccharides can differ from one another in: the number of carbon atoms they contain.
Monosaccharides can be divided into groups according to the number of carbon atoms in the molecules: trioses have 3-C atoms, tetroses have 4-C atoms, pentoses have 5-C atoms and hexoses have 6-C atoms. Each of these groups have different compounds, each with the same molecular formula. The bonds can be different between two monosaccharides. There is a difference in the orientation of a hydroxyl group in the ring form of monosaccharides. A glycosidic bond can lead to two possible stereoisomers at the anomeric carbon of one sugar. Also, the many hydroxyl groups of another sugar allow for several possible regioisomers.
