SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that relative atomic mass is defined as the mass of an element compared to carbon-12, which is standardized to an atomic mass of exactly 12.000. This concept is crucial for understanding how atomic masses are measured and compared across different elements in chemistry. The relative atomic mass provides a basis for calculating the mass of compounds and is essential in stoichiometry and molecular weight determinations.
