(AMU) is equal to the mass of one-twelfth of a carbon-12 atom (6 protons + 6 neutrons (+ 6 electrons)), a 'very' little less than 1.66 x 10-24 gram.

Isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in the core. Isotopes have the same electronic structure as the given element and thus have a nearly identical chemical behavior. Larger elements tend to have more stable isotopes than smaller ones.
For example, I123, I125 and I131 are isotopes of iodine; they have a different mass number. Further Reading: Basics:
