The average Atomic Mass of an element is the weighted average mass of an atom (including all its isotopes).
This is related to the molar mass, because molar mass is the weight of 1 mole of something (atoms, molecules, etc...).
1 mole = 6.022 x10^23 = avogardro's constant.
If the chemical composition of the sample is known, then the answer is yes. However, equal masses of platinum and magnesium, for example, contain quite different numbers of atoms, because the atomic mass of platinum is much higher than that of magnesium.
The atomic mass, in grams, is the mass of one mole of atoms.
Atomic Mass
The atomic mass is the average of all of the different isotopes of the element present in the sample. Samles taken from aound the worlld for some elements have slightly different isotope ratios and therefore have different atomic masses.
b. the atomic number is constant. The mass number is not constant because there are isotopes of an element that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Likewise, there are isotopes of the same element with different atomic weights.
No, it is not a lucky accident. An Avogadro's number of helium atoms do not weigh 4 grams: their mass is four grams and that is NOT the same thing. The mass is related to the atomic mass unit which is, essentially the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. More accurately, it is the weighted average for the atomic mass across the isotopes of the element - weighted according their abundance.

no youre thinking of molar mass and atomic weight although you use avogadro's number to find molar mass
The average atomic mass is weighted by the most common isotopes and their relative abundance.
For this problem, the atomic mass is required. Take the mass in grams and divide it by the atomic mass. Then multiply it by Avogadro's constant, 6.02 × 1023.1000 grams C / (12.0 grams) × (6.02 × 1023 atoms) = 5.02 × 1025 atoms
For this problem, the atomic mass is required. Take the mass in grams and divide it by the atomic mass. Then multiply it by Avogadro's constant, 6.02 × 1023.3.86 grams S / (32.1 grams) × (6.02 × 1023 atoms) = 7.24 × 1022 atoms
Avogadro constant or number is the number of atoms in one mole, which is equal to 6.0221415 × 10^23. Edited to: The Avogadro constant is the number of particles (atoms, molecules or compounds) in one mole of a substance. It is the number of atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12. As for all other elements, one mole of those is found in the relative atomic mass of that substance which is calculated relative to one twelfth of a carbon-12 atom e.g. one mole of oxygen atoms is in 16g of oxygen... and a mole was experiemtally worked out to contain 6.0221415 × 10^23 particles.
He proposed in 1811, his famous hypothesis, now known as Avogadro's Law. The law stated that equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. His law helped to overcome John Dalton's atomic theory. Avogadro also distinguished between an atom and a molecule, to determine a table of atomic weights. Correction and standardization of atomic weights began in 1858, when Stanislao Cannizzaro, an Italian chemist, reminded other chemists about Avogadro's work.
30.97 or 31 grams The answer is the atomic weight
For this problem, the atomic mass is required. Take the mass in grams and divide it by the atomic mass. Then multiply it by Avogadro's constant, 6.02 × 1023.5.0 grams Fe / (55.9 grams) × (6.02 × 1023 atoms) = 5.38 × 1022 atoms
The periodic table is listed by atomic number which is highly related to atomic mass. Therefore the close ones would be to the left (Sulfur) and right(Argon). Sulfur is closest with an average distance of about 3.5 AMU.
