Chem: What is atomic m, m number and relative atomic m?

relative atomic mes can be a decimal in some cases when there are different isotopes of the same element (same number of protons but different neutrons) For example Chlorine.. 35Cl and 37Cl.. so the average is 35.5Cl, so that is the atomic number written on the periodic table
