Isotopes of a element are simply versions of that same element with different count of neutron, with that in mind they take all of the isotopes of a specific element and average them together taking in account the percent abundance of each so the most common isotope is the one on the Periodic Table.
Isotopes determine the mass of an element as isotopes are heavier or lighter than the original element.
Atomic mass number is the average atomic mass for that element, which is : All the isotopes' masses known for that element averaged up. Atomic number is the element's "identity", the number of protons the element and all its isotopes have. All the isotopes of a given element will have different number of electrons and neutrons, but the protons of the element never will change.
The atomic mass of an element is the average of its isotopes, weighted by abundance in nature.
Yes; isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses.
No, the atomic number of an element can't change. Because, we can identify an element by its atomic number and atomic mass. and hence they have been arranged in the periodic table on the basis of their mass number and atomic mass so , it couldn't be changed. Every element has a fixed atomic number..
Isotopes have a different amount of Neutrons. The atomic mass is the sum of Protons and Neutrons. Therefore having a different number of Neutrons makes the atomic mass greater. Or vice versa. Boom. Solved.

the atomic mass
The known weighted-averagemass of all the naturally occurring* isotopes for an element is the atomic mass of the element.____________________*This is not the same as "all the known isotopes", becausemost elements have known isotopes that are not naturally occurring.
Isotopes have a different amount of Neutrons. The atomic mass is the sum of Protons and Neutrons. Therefore having a different number of Neutrons makes the atomic mass greater. Or vice versa. Boom. Solved.
For the chemical elements the correct expression is atomic weight.This value is the weighted average mass of the natural isotopes of this element.
the mass of the isotopes
Atomic mass is the average mass of all isotopes of a given element.
