    The number of nucleons in the nucleus is the atom's mass number, that being said, each isotope of a given element has a different mass number. so there isn't one single mass number for an isotope.

    The mass number given on the periodic table is a weighted average of all the isotopes. You get the exact mass of an isotope by adding the protons (atomic number) to the number of neutrons in that isotope.
