Why is the atomic mass not a nice even number?

Because most elements that have at least one isotope stable against radioactive decay have more than one such isotope. The individual isotopes have integer mass numbers, but the naturally occurring abundances of the various isotopes do not usually have any integral ratios to one another, and the atomic mass is a weighted average of the isotope masses.


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)


How do you find the atomic number of an isotope?

The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.


What is the atomic number of isotope?

Well all Isotopes have the same atomic number so if you have the element the atomic number of an element with that same isotope is that same atomic number.
