The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons it contains. In this case, since the atom has 20 protons, its atomic number is 20.

The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons it contains. In this case, the atom has 20 protons and 26 neutrons, so its mass number is 20 + 26 = 46.
