To calculate average Atomic Mass from different isotopes of an element, we take into account the relative atomic masses of isotopes and their relative abundance on Earth. The following formula is used to calculate the needful :
atomic mass = mass of isotope x percent abundance + mass of isotope x percent abundance / 100 (whole expression divided by 100)
Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by its relative abundance (expressed as a decimal). Add the products together to find the weighted average atomic mass of the element.
all the different isotopes are averaged in together to find the atomic mass
Isotopes are any of the several different forms of an element each having different atomic mass (mass number). Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons.
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.

How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?
The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
Does an isotope of an element have a different atomic mass?
Yes, isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass on the periodic table is often listed as a range for an element.
What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
What data must you know about the the isotopes of an element to calculate the atomic mass of an element?
Number of protons
Isotopes of the same element have different .?
atomic masses

What information about an element's isotopes is needed to calculate that element's average atomic mass?
the atomic number of each isotope-apex;)
The various atomic weights of the same element are called?
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).
What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
What data must you know about the the isotopes of an element to calculate the atomic mass of an element?
Number of protons
How is the atomic mass of an element calculate?
By taking the wieghted averages of naturally occurring isotopes of that element. :)
What identifies different isotopes of an element?
the atomic number
Isotopes of the same element have different .?
atomic masses
How do isotopes of an element differ?
Different isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons and thus in their atomic weight.
Isotopes of the same element have differnt?
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. This results in isotopes having slightly different atomic masses while maintaining the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity).
