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.
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 atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
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.
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
