The Atomic Mass or weight of an isotope of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The number of protons defines which element it is, this is called the atomic number. For uranium for example it is 92, but the atomic weight can be from 233 to 238, and these different versions of uranium are called isotopes.

See Periodic Table for more details of all the elements.

Add the no. of neutrons and the no. of protons to get the atomic mass.
