Answer:
Atomic mass (ma) is the mass of an atom. A single atom has a set number of protons and neutrons, so the mass is unequivocal (won't change) and is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. ... Atomic weight is a weighted average of the mass of all the atoms of an element, based on the abundance of isotopes

No, atomic mass and atomic weight are not the same(with respect to the same individual atom).
Atomic mass if an atom is the sum of protons and neutrons in an element while atomic weight is the average mass of all the atoms of a particular element.
The unit of atomic mass is amu(atomic mass unit) and the unit of atomic weight Dalton(Da).
