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 atom is the total mass of its protons, neutrons, and electrons. It is usually measured in atomic mass units (u) or grams per mole (g/mol). The atomic mass can be found on the Periodic Table as the average atomic mass of an element.
It is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. More precisely, it is the average of these numbers across the isotopes of the atom.
neutrons in an atom's nucleus. It is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and provides the total mass of an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, as the mass of electrons is negligible.
No, the atomic mass is not equal to the atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic mass can differ from the atomic number, especially due to the presence of neutrons.
Atomic mass is the total mass of an atom, which includes the mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons, while atomic number is the number of protons only.
atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. It determines the element's identity. Atomic mass is the average mass of an atom of an element, taking into account its isotopes and their abundance. It is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
