2.1 Atomic mass is the mass of an individual atom, whereas atomic weight is the average (weighted) of the
atomic masses of an atom's naturally occurring isotopes.

2.2 The average atomic weight of silicon (ASi ) is computed by adding fraction-of-occurrence/atomic
weight products for the three isotopes. Thus
ASi = f 28 A28 + f 29 A29 + f 30 A30
Si Si Si Si Si Si
= (0.9223)(27.9769) + (0.0468)(28.9765) + (0.0309)(29.9738) = 28.0854
