    The atomic masses written for every element in the periodic table is the average atomic weight that is calculated from the element's isotopes. The formula would be:

    Average Atomic Weight = ∑ (Isotope Mass*Relative Abundance)

    Substituting the values:

    Average Atomic Weight = (331 amu*0.35) + (337 amu*0.65)

    Average Atomic Weight = 334.9 amu
