∙ 10y agoElement does not exist so I have to ignore that part. Atomic mass as it appears on the Periodic Table is an average mass of gram (weight) per mole of atom (see avagadros number). Furthermore, it is average in the sense that it is weighted based on the percentage of a specific isotope existing (some contain more neutrons than others) with the actual weight of each isotope

The average weight of an element is expressed in atomic mass units (amu) and is calculated based on the relative atomic masses of the isotopes of that element weighted by their abundance in nature. This value can be found on the periodic table for each element. For example, the average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 amu.
The two main factors in determining the average atomic mass of an element are:the isotopic composition of the element (the fraction of each isotope)the atomic mass of each isotope
Carbon has an average atomic mass of about 12.
The average atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its naturally occurring isotopes, taking into account their relative abundance. It is usually listed on the periodic table below the element's symbol.

The hundredth element on the periodic table is fermium, with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is a synthetic element that is radioactive and typically produced in nuclear reactors.
The average atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes (that is a weighted average). You have to take into account the abundance of each isotope when they do your averaging.
The weighted average of the atomic masses of an element's naturally occurring isotopes is called the atomic mass. This value takes into account the abundance of each isotope in nature when calculating the overall average atomic mass of the element.

The average weight of an element is expressed in atomic mass units (amu) and is calculated based on the relative atomic masses of the isotopes of that element weighted by their abundance in nature. This value can be found on the periodic table for each element. For example, the average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 amu.
The weighted average for all isotopes that occur in nature for an element is its atomic weight listed on the Periodic Table of the elements.

There is an average atomic mass because all atoms of the same element do not have the same amount of neutrons (isotopes), therefore variations in atomic mass exist. The average atomic mass of an element is the estimated average of all the atoms of the same element, given the average of different isotopes in a scientific sample.
