The Atomic Mass of a radioactively stable element is defined as the mass, usually measured in grams, of Avogadro's Number of atoms of the element as obtained from natural sources on Earth. For most elements, this atomic mass will be an average, weighted by natural isotope percentages, of the individual isotopes of the atom that naturally occur, but some elements have only one naturally occurring non radioactive isotope.
The scale of atomic masses is now established by defining the mass of a carbon-12 isotope to be exactly 12. The atomic masses of other elements are defined by their mass ratios to a carbon-12 isotope.

How you determined the relative atomic mass of oxygen?
The atomic weight (not mass) of any element is determined taking into account the isotopic composition and the atomic masses of these isotopes.
What two factors determines the atomic mass of a element?
The atomic mass is determined by the neutrons and the protons, found in the elements' nucleus.
Which mass number or atomic number determine what element an atom is?
The identity of the element is determined solely by the atomic number, which is the number of protons.
Which particle determines the atomic number of an element?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
What is the atomic mass for magnesiam?
Magnesium is a meta element. Atomic mass of it is 24.
How is the molar mass of an element determined?
the Atomic Mass in g/ml is the molar mass of the element
How is molar mass of an element determined?
the Atomic Mass in g/ml is the molar mass of the element
How is the mass of 1 mole of an element determined?
It is the same as the element’s atomic mass, but in grams.
The atomic mass is determined by?
atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons.this can be seen in the periodic table as the average atomic mass below the name of the element

Why is the krypton atomic mass not determined?
The relative atomic mass is 83.798. So where did you get that it is not determined.
What is the atomic mass for magnesiam?
Magnesium is a meta element. Atomic mass of it is 24.
What determines the atomic number of a substance?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, while the atomic mass is the total mass of the nucleus (both protons and neutrons)
How is the atomic mass determined?
Atomic Mass is the number of protons in an atom plus the number of neutrons in the same atom.
