The atomic mass of titanium is 47.88 atomic mass units. This atomic mass represents the
(1) total mass of all the protons and neutrons in an atom of Ti
(2) total mass of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of Ti
(3) weighted average mass of the most abundant isotope of Ti
(4) weighted average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of Ti

Answer (3) is the most correct, although (2) is not to be ignored. (3) states the most abundant isotope Ti's average mass, which is certainly true. (2) is the total mass of all protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of Ti, which is true but has to be more specific in order to pinpoint exactly the 47.88 amu. (4) is incorrect because it is not of all the naturally occurring isotopes of Ti. (1) is incorrect because they forgot electrons.
