Relative Atomic Mass

The video tutorial explains the concept of relative isotopic mass, which is the mass of an element in relation to carbon-12. It distinguishes between isotopic mass and relative atomic mass, the latter being the average mass of naturally occurring isotopes of an element. Using chlorine as an example, the tutorial illustrates how to calculate the relative atomic mass by considering the abundance of isotopes, resulting in a weighted average. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for interpreting the periodic table.
