Answer:

Because atoms are much too small to measure individually and do not have charges, there is no convenient way to accurately measure absolute atomic masses.

Answer:

It's difficult to measure the mass of an atom because they are simply so tiny. It's not like we can just put it on a weighing scale, as it wouldn't show up at all
