Total count of protons + neutrons. To be really anal, it is an average of the weights of the atomic nuclei of a specific element from the known isotopes of that element. Notice on a periodic chart the naturally occuring elements have weights in fractional (decimal) units, while most synthetic (man-made) elements are integers (whole) numbers as little to nothing is known about their isotopes.

Atomic Weight = Atomic Number (proton count) + neutron count
