It tells you how many protons are in the element. For example if the atomic number is 5 then the protons of the element is 5.

What does the atomic mass tell you about the element and it's protons and neutrons?

The atomic mass of an element represents the average mass of its isotopes, taking into account their abundance. It is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. By subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass, you can determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


How can you tell isotopes?

You can tell isotopes apart by the difference in there atomic mass numbers. Take for example the isotope Carbon-12. Carbon is the element name and 12 is the Atomic Mass of the element. The atomic mass number can (most?) always be changed, but the the atomic number ( the number above the Element symbol on the Periodic Table) cannot. Remember: The number of protons add by the number of neutrons equals the atomic mass number. The proton number = the atomic number, as of the number of electrons= the atomic number; hence the atomic number= number of proton = number of electron.
