Because copper has isotopes. All Copper atoms have exactly the same number of protons, but not all of them have the same number of neutrons. The ones with different numbers of neutrons are known as isotopes. A given sample of Copper will contain various amounts of each of its isotopes. The Atomic Mass (weight) is an average weight, based on the percentages of the isotopes
