(PLEASE HELP)"The most abundant isotope of Hydrogen has a mass of 1 amu. Therefore, the average atomic mass on the periodic table for Hydrogen will be 1 amu."

The statement the most abundant isotope of Hydrogen has a mass of 1 amu is wrong.

What is the average atomic mass?

The average atomic mass could be obtained as the sum of the products of the percentage abundance of each of the hydrogen isotopes and the mass of the isotope.

We know that every element has isotopes. In every sample of the atom, there are various isotopes of the element. Thus the average atomic mass must take into account the masses of all these isotopes.

As such, the statement the most abundant isotope of Hydrogen has a mass of 1 amu is wrong.
