atomic weight
Atomic weight, also known as relative atomic mass, refers to the weighted average mass of the atoms in an element, measured on a scale where the carbon-12 atom is exactly 12. The atomic weight takes into account the different isotopes of an element and the abundance of each isotope in nature. It is usually expressed in atomic mass units (amu), where one amu is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Atomic weight
the weight of an atom of any body compared with that of hydrogen, the unit.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Atomic Weight
The number expressing the relative weight of the atom of any substance, that of hydrogen being generally taken as unity. This is the universal system, although any other element might be taken as the basis of the system. The whole theory of atomic weights is based on the indivisibility of the atom and on the theory of atomicity, q. v. (See Equivalents.) [Transcriber's note: The standard is now the isotope carbon-12 as exactly 12.]
