the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.

The Atomic Mass of an element represents the total mass of an atom, which includes the mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. It is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and is an average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element.
