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 isotopes in a naturally-occuring element.
