The atomic ratio is a measure of the ratio of atoms of one kind (i) to another kind (j). A closely related concept is the atomic percent (or at.%), which gives the percentage of one kind of atom relative to the total number of atoms.^[1] The molecular equivalents of these concepts are the molar fraction, or molar percent.
