How To Find Atomic Mass?

Find the element on the periodic table

Read the atomic mass listed for that element

If needed, use the average atomic mass from the periodic table

For a specific isotope, use the mass number instead of the average atomic mass

Add the number of protons and neutrons to get the atomic mass of an isotope

Use the weighted average of all isotopes to find the atomic mass of an element

Round the result if required by the problem or context
