Atomic weight is the average mass of atoms of an element which is calculated using the relative abundances of all of the isotopes in a naturally-occuring element. In other words, it is the weighted average of the masses of naturally occuring isotopes. | Atomic weight is the average [[Mass|mass]] of atoms of an [[Element|element]] which is calculated using the relative abundances of all of the [[Isotope|isotopes]] in a naturally-occuring element. In other words, it is the weighted average of the masses of naturally occuring [[Isotope|isotopes]]. | ||
