Answer 1

hey mate here is your answer

atomic mass is the weight of an element.

hope it helps

please mark as a brainliest

Answer 2

Atomic mass or atomic weight is the average mass of atoms of an element, calculated using the relative abundance of isotopes in a naturally-occurring element.

Atomic mass indicates the size of an atom. Although technically the mass is the sum of the mass of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom, the mass of an electron is so much less than that of the other particles, that mass is simply that of the nucleus (protons and neutrons).

Also Known As: Atomic Weight

Examples of Atomic Mass

The atomic mass of carbon is 12.011. Most carbon atoms consist of 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.0079. Hydrogen (atomic number 1) is the element that has the lowest atomic mass. The most common isotope of hydrogen is protium, an atom that consists of a proton or a proton and an electron. Because a small amount of deuterium (one proton and one neutron) and tritium (one proton and 2 neutrons), the atomic mass of hydrogen is slightly higher than 1.
