The mass of an atom is obtained dividing the atomic weight of an isotope by the Avogadro number.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. Always. The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in it. And that means an isotope of element 54 (xenon) that has 77 neutrons in its nucleus has a mass number of 54 + 77 or 131, and you'll have an atom of 131Xe. A link can be found below.
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.Mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of a specific isotope.Atomic mass is the total mass of a an atom of a particular isotope, not just the mass of the nucleus. Atomic mass is usually measured in atomic mass units (amu), and is the total mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an individual atom of the isotope.
There are a few ways to determine the mass number, depending on what information you have about the isotope: 1. The mass number is calculated as the sum of an isotope's protons and neutrons. 2. The name of an isotope generally includes the mass number. For instance, carbon-14 has a mass number of 14. 3. The atomic mass (aka isotope mass or atomic weight) rounded to the nearest whole number is the mass number.
Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)
It is the mass number for that particular form of the atom - that particular isotope. An element can exist as more than one isotope and the atom's mass number is the (weighted) average of the mass numbers of all its isotopes.
Atom number 7 is Nitrogen, 157N , isotope 15 with mass number 15 The answer is N(15) isotope
The mass of an atom is obtained dividing the atomic weight of an isotope by the Avogadro number.
The mass number is the total weight of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.

The Atomic Mass is, basically, the sum of the protons (the "atomic number"), and the number of neutrons.
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
Each isotope has another number of neutrons.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope – 78
