The atomic weight (not mass) of a chemical element is the ratio between the average mass of the atoms of this element to 1/12 from the Atomic Mass of carbon-12.
The atomic mass is a term applied only to specific isotopes; the unit is the same as above. Is a value denoting the total mass of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an isotope.
The mass number tells us the number (the sum) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
The atomic number, on the other hand, tells us how many protons are in the nucleus of an atom.
IUPAC publish periodically tables of atomic weights - the last edition is from 2009-2010.
For the atomic masses of isotopes the last published edition is The AME 2003 atomic mass evaluation, edited by Audi, Wapstra and Thibault.

What is relative atomic mass and how it is related with gram?
when atomic mass of an element expressed in gram atom is called gram atom mass . and formula is number of gram atom=given mass (in gram) by atomic mass ( in gram )
What is the atomic mass of an atom with 5 electrons?
you can't tell the atomic mass of an atom if either the number of protons or neutrons is missing. But Boron with 5 protons and 6 neutrons has and atomic mass of 11.
What does the atomic mass tell you about the element and it's protons and neutrons?
The weight of the atom
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
How do you tell figure out the atomic mass?
Atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. On the periodic table, the average atomic mass of an element will the be number at the bottom of each box.
What does the atomic mass tell you about the atom?
The Atomic Mass of an element tells you the average mass of an atom in the element.
What do the atomic number and the mass number tell you about the atom?
the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
What do the atomic number and mass number tell you about the atom?
the atomic number is the number of protons/electrons in the atom
What do the atomic number and atomic mass tell you about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for atomic mass.
What is relative atomic mass and how it is related with gram?
when atomic mass of an element expressed in gram atom is called gram atom mass . and formula is number of gram atom=given mass (in gram) by atomic mass ( in gram )

What do the atomic number and mass number tell about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for Atomic Mass.
What do the atomic number and mass number tell you about an atom?
Atomic number tells the number of protons and electrons, but i don't remember for Atomic Mass.
What does the atomic mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
What does the atomic mass number an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
What can the atomic mass tell you about an atom?
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
How do you determine the atom the atomic mass of an atom?
Proton + Nuetron = Atomic Mass
