If atomic weight and atomic mass are different, why does the periodic table list the atomic mass as if it was the atomic weight?

Question

I’m so confused with these two. I know they are different terms but the periodic table shows atomic mass when to my understanding it should be the atomic weight because it’s taking into account their isotopes

Answer 1

are you confused because the atomic weight is listed in AMU? atomic weight and mass are measurements of the same thing. one is just an average and the other isnt.
