The number found below the name and symbol of an element on most periodic tables. Usually has a decimal, but doesn't have to.
By Atomic Mass
Atomic mass is determined by mass spectrometry.
Mendeleev arranged the periodic table according to increasing atomic mass. This method has been used since he first developed it in the 1800s.
Mendeleev's version of the Periodic Table was organized by increasing mass. The modern periodic table is now organized by atomic number.
The elements on the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.

The atomic number is the whole # on the periodic table or the # of protons in an atom. The atomic mass is the # that is not the whole # on the periodic table, or you can multiply the mass of the isotope by its abundance and add the answers together.
Mendeleev's version of the Periodic Table was organized by increasing mass. The modern periodic table is now organized by atomic number.
The modern periodic table is arranged according to the elements' atomic numbers.
The elements on the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
the benefit is that you can tell the atomic number atomic mass its symbol and where it is on the periodic table
Arranging the Periodic Table by atomic number rather than Atomic Mass was first suggested by a British man named Henry Moseley in 1913. Before that point, the periodic table was organized by atomic mass, and has several inconsistencies and problems.
number of protons = atomic mass
The atomic mass of phosphorus on the periodic table is approximately 30.974 grams per mole.
Beryllium has the lowest atomic mass in group 2 of the periodic table.
