What nuclide is used as the standard in the relative scale for atomic mass?

In 1803 Dalton suggested 1H as the basic unit for the atomic mass unit(amu). Ostwald recommended 1/16 mass of Oxygen. However, this suggestion was made before the isotopes 17O an 18O were discovered. Since 1961, the unit is based on 1/12 mass of 12C.

What does the relative atomic mass of an element tell us about the relative abundance of an isotope?

None. The relative abundance of isotopes is used to calculate the Average Mass (by multiplying the Atomic Mass of the isotopes by their relative abundancies and adding the products together) while the Atomic Mass is simply the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.
