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.

How is an isotope and a mass number related?

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.

How is isotope and mass number related?

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.


What is the mass number of the isotope with the symbol 3717Cl?

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.
