Atoms, as pieces of matter, have mass. I'm assuming you mean "atomic" mass and not something I don't recognize in that it is allegedly "automic." Perhaps you are referring to taking an average of the fractional abundance of each isotope of an element and it's corresponding mass, then arriving at an average atomic mass (units are in amu for "atomic mass unit"), a.k.a. - atomic weight. These are the values listed in the periodic table for each element. - Will
