How to Find Atomic Mass of Elements?

Look up the element on the periodic table

Use the atomic mass value listed for that element

If needed, average the masses of its isotopes using their natural abundances

Multiply each isotope’s mass by its fractional abundance

Add the results together to get the atomic mass

For a single isotope, use that isotope’s mass directly

Check the units, usually atomic mass units (amu) or unified atomic mass units (u)
