This document discusses atomic mass and isotopes. It begins by explaining that an atomic mass unit (amu) is used to discuss the mass of atoms, where 1 amu is 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Atomic masses listed in the periodic table are in amu. Isotopes have different atomic masses that result in the average atomic mass not being a whole number. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating average atomic masses from the masses and abundances of isotopes.
