What's the difference between mass number and atomic weight? Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic weight is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes.

I was reading this in my book and my head was spinning. I understand now, thanks. I do have a question though. How did you come up with 20% boron 10
and 80% boron 11.

this is so earth-like calculation,. not really universal, because we are just making an assumption that on planet 'earth' out of all boron atoms there are 20% boron-10 and 80% boron-11..... does that really matter on a universal scale? especially when we become multi planetary species... this is wrong

Dear Mr. Tyler:

I love your videos..you are awesome. However..you say one Boron-10 isotope "weighs" 10 amu...this is confusing to me. 10 amu is a Mass, not a weight.

I think the term "atomic weight" is confusing...as I understand it, the word "weight" refers to the "weighted" average...ie: the percent of the Boron that exists as B-10 is different than B-11 and therefore the average is "weighted" toward the mass of the more common isotope. You explain this beautifully with your pie graph.

It has nothing to do with "weight" associated with amu's...

For example, let's say you have 4 exams in a class. The first 3 are worth 20% of your grade, and the 4th exam, let's call it the final exam, is worth 40%. This means the final exam is "weighted"; just like Boron-11 is "weighted" because it is more common than B-10.

That is why I think average atomic mass is such a better term than atomic weight...

Where am I going wrong?

M. Chow

nice but how human calculated there are 20% of boron 10 present in the world and 80% of boron11 present in the world. and there are infinite universe and there are infinite numbers of planet so boron present in other planet also. MAY BE IF TAKE A BORON SAMPLE FROM EARTH THERE ARE 20 % OF B10 AND 80% OF B11.. BUT IF U COLLECT BORON FROM OTHER PLANET IN FUTURE THEN U MAY FIND DIFFER BETWEEN PERCENTAGE....

Wait... you just made two videos for the difference between atomic number and atomic MASS/WEIGHT and both are identical so... I assume that atomic mass is equal to atomic weight, isn't it?
I'm not trying to be ironic, I've been a long time trying to figure out the difference. In physics there is an obvious one, it seems it doesn't matter in chemistry.

(Amazing videos, by the way. You're an inspiration)
