It isn't, as such. Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons, and neutrons have a mas of one Atomic Mass unit (amu). So isotopes have different atomic masses, but being told the number of neutrons any isotope has, will not enable you to say what element or atomic mass it had, unless you remembered the details for every single isotope. Even then different elements can have the same number of neutrons. Isotopes do get named after their atomic mass however - uranaium 235 has an atomic mass of 235, for instance.
Neodymium, Nd, has an isotope with a mass number of 144. Samarium, Sm, also has an isotope with a mass number of 144.
An isotope of indium has 77 protons and 115 neutrons. What is the mass number of this isotope
The mass number of the most common titanium isotope is 48.
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Calcium (Ca) has an atomic number of 20, meaning it has 20 protons. If the isotope has 24 neutrons, the mass number would be 20 protons + 24 neutrons = 44. Therefore, the mass number of this calcium isotope is 44.
The only element which has a reasonably abundant isotope with mass number 33 is sulphur and that has 17 neutrons.
The isotope with the longest half life (Rf-267) has the mass number 267.Each isotope has a specific mass number.
Neodymium, Nd, has an isotope with a mass number of 144. Samarium, Sm, also has an isotope with a mass number of 144.
An isotope is member of an element of Mass Number differing from the average; for example, the most common isotope of Carbon is 12C (6 protons, 6 neutrons), where 13C and 14C would be less common (even unstable, radioactive) isotopes. So isotopes are varying forms of an element, differing in mass number.
Subtract the atomic number of the isotope from its atomic mass number to obtain the number of neutrons in an isotope.
Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)
An isotope of indium has 77 protons and 115 neutrons. What is the mass number of this isotope
The most stable isotope of radium - 226Ra - has the atomic mass 226,025 409 8 (25).
An isotope's mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in each atomic nucleus of the isotope.
The mass number of the most common titanium isotope is 48.
2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. In this case, the symbol 37 refers to the total number of protons and neutrons, which means the mass number of the isotope 37-17Cl is 37.
The number next to any isotope represents the mass number
