How do you calculate mass in chemistry?
Yes, can you explain the difference between atomic mass and atomic weight?
Atomic mass and atomic weight are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are slightly different. Atomic mass refers to the mass of an individual atom, while atomic weight takes into account the abundance of different isotopes of an element in nature. This means that atomic weight is often a weighted average of the atomic masses of all the different isotopes of an element. Does that make sense?
