Indeed, the answer is, "The atomic mass of an element is represented by the sum or total of the protons and the NEUTRONS of that atom"?

The AMU on the Periodic Table is a decimal because it is an average (using 6.023 x 10 to the 23rd atoms) of the AMU of the elements' isotopes. This number, rounded, gives you the most common isotope.

Get an "A".
