atomic volume=the relative atomic mass of the element divided by it’s density

Mass divided by density does equal volume in general. I don't know what you mean by "relative" atomic mass. I also am not sure whether you're referring to a macroscopic sample of the element when you talk about it's density or a single atom. I suspect the former which would describe molar volume, not atomic volume.
