What is atomic mass

Accepted Answer

Atomic mass is a weighted average of the mass of an element's naturally occurring isotopic forms. It is expressed in atomic mass units (amu), where 1 amu is defined as 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Unlike atomic number, atomic mass can be a decimal value.
