Expert Answer
Dear student,
Mass number is the mass of a particular isotope of an element relative to hydrogen-1. Atomic weight or more correctly atomic mass is a weighted mean of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes. So for chlorine for example there are isotopes withmass numbers 35 & 37 and at their natural abundance the atomic mass of Cl comes out at about 35.5
