The atomic mass of an element is calculated by summing the masses of its protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The formula for calculating atomic mass is as follows:
Atomic Mass = (Mass of Protons * Number of Protons) + (Mass of Neutrons * Number of Neutrons)
In this formula, the mass of protons and neutrons is given in atomic mass units (u), and the number of protons and neutrons is the respective count for the specific element.
