The method of calculating atomic mass involves the addition of the number of protons and neutrons present within an atom's nucleus. The typical unit of measurement is the atomic mass unit (amu), where one amu is roughly equivalent to the mass of a single proton or neutron. The atomic mass of an element, as presented in the periodic table, represents the mean mass of its various isotopes.
