Answer:

atomic mass = 16 amu

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic mass is the total protons and neutrons in an element. The atomic number represents the total number of protons.

In this form, the superscript (raised exponent) represents the mass number/atomic mass. The subscript represents the atomic number. Therefore, if the number (16) is the superscript, this must be your answer.

¹⁶₈Z
-----> 16 = mass number/ atomic mass
-----> 8 = atomic number
