Atomic mass, also known as atomic weight, is the weighted average mass of an atom of an element, measured in atomic mass units (amu). It reflects the mass of an atom relative to the mass of carbon-12, which is assigned a value of exactly 12 amu. Atomic mass takes into account the relative abundances of the different isotopes of an element in nature and their respective masses.
