Alessandra · Answer 1

Atomic mass: The sum of no. of protons and no. of neutrons

Protons: a subatomic particle with a positive charge

Neutron: a subatomic particle with no charge (neutral)

Isotopes: the same elements with different atomic mass [Eg. uranium-235, uranium-238. Uranium being one element, can have different mass numbers. Hence Uranium-238 is an isotope of Uranium-235]

Therefore:

Proton + neutrons = Atomic massΔatomic mass = formation of isotopes.

Atomic mass is the total of number of protons and number of neutrons in an atom or isotope.
