The element having the same atomic number is said to have been called isotopes. The element with five isotopes and atomic mass ranging from 45 - 49 amu is Gadolinium (Gd).

What is an isotope?

An isotope is an element that has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus but has the same atomic number because there is no change in the number of protons or electrons in the elemental atom.

The average atomic mass of the element will be calculated by adding the products of the mass number and the percent natural abundance as,

45.95269 × 0.80 = 36.762152

46.951764 × 0.730 = 34.274787

47.947947 × 0.738 = 35.385584

48.947841 × 0.550 = 26.921312

49.944792 × 0.540 = 26.970187

Adding the products as,

= 36.762152 + 34.274787 + 35.385584 + 26.921312 + 26.970187

= 160.314022

The element with an atomic mass of 160 is Gadolinium (Gd).

Therefore, the element is Gadolinium (Gd).
