Neutrons = 1 amu
Electrons = negligible

​

​Atomic Mass Unit (amu)

​​Symbol with atomic mass and number

​​Element with atomic mass only

DE_Chem_2.1.4_What Is the Difference between Atomic Mass and Atomic Number?

What is listed in the Periodic Table

It is a weighted average mass of a particular element

​Average Atomic Mass

DE_Chem_2.1.5_How Can the Average Atomic Mass for an Element be Determined Given the Masses of its Isotopes and their Relative Abundance?

1. multiply (%abundance)(mass of isotope) for each isotope

2. add them all

3. divide by 100
