Answer:
The atomic mass is the mass of an atom. Although the SI unit of mass is kilogram, the atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton where 1 dalton is defined as ¹⁄₁₂ of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom, at rest.

Explanation:
The atomic mass is the mass of an atom. Although the SI unit of mass is kilogram, the atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton where 1 dalton is defined as ¹⁄₁₂ of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom, at rest.
The atomic weight of any atom can be found by multiplying the abundance of an isotope of an element by the atomic mass of the element and then adding the results together. This equation can be used with elements with two or more isotopes: Carbon-12: 0.9889 x 12.0000 = 11.8668.
