It isn't, as such. Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons, and neutrons have a mas of one Atomic Mass unit (amu). So isotopes have different atomic masses, but being told the number of neutrons any isotope has, will not enable you to say what element or atomic mass it had, unless you remembered the details for every single isotope. Even then different elements can have the same number of neutrons. Isotopes do get named after their atomic mass however - uranaium 235 has an atomic mass of 235, for instance.

∙ 13y agoAn isotope and a mass number are related because each isotope has a specific mass number. Tritium, an isotope of Hydrogen, has a mass number of 3, so it can be said that an isotope has a mass number, no matter what the isotope is.

The mass number 228 isotope of radium?
The mass number of the isotope 228Ra is 228.
What is the mass number for Dy in chemistry?
mass number of dysprosium = 66 + number of neutrons in a specified isotope The mass number is different for each isotope.
What is the mass number of zirconium 98?
The mass number of zirconium-98 is 98 by definition: The number after a hyphen in the name of an isotope is the mass number of the isotope.
What is the mass number of rutherfordium?
The isotope with the longest half life (Rf-267) has the mass number 267.Each isotope has a specific mass number.
What element has a mass number of 144?
Neodymium, Nd, has an isotope with a mass number of 144. Samarium, Sm, also has an isotope with a mass number of 144.
How is an isotope and a mass number related?
An isotope is member of an element of Mass Number differing from the average; for example, the most common isotope of Carbon is 12C (6 protons, 6 neutrons), where 13C and 14C would be less common (even unstable, radioactive) isotopes. So isotopes are varying forms of an element, differing in mass number.
How can you dertermine the number of neutrons in a isotope?
Subtract the atomic number of the isotope from its atomic mass number to obtain the number of neutrons in an isotope.
How does the atomic number relate to the number of protons in an atom?
Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)
What is titanium's atomic mass number of the most common isotope?
The mass number of the most common titanium isotope is 48.
What does the atomic mass equals the number of?
An isotope's mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in each atomic nucleus of the isotope.
What is an isotope that has the atomic number 190 and mass number 78?
There is no such isotope. The highest atomic number is 118. The question is erroneous. The isotope platinum-190 has the atomic number 78, the mass number 190 and the atomic mass 189,959 932(6).
How is isotope and mass number related?
2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.
