How is it represented on the copy of the Table that you are currently using?

Explanation:

The elements on the Periodic Table are characterized by their atomic number, Z, which value specifies the identity of the element. Beneath the prominently displayed elemental symbol (specific to Z), the relative atomic mass is printed, and this is the weighted average of the element's particular isotopic distribution. Usually the name of the element also appears.
