the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.

What does atomic mass represent of an element represent?
Atomic Mass represents the mass of atom. We use mass of protons and neutrons.
What does the mass number of an atom represent?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of a chemical element.
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
Why does not atomic mass of element represent the actual mass of the atoms?
Because the gram atomic mass of an element is the mass in grams of Avogadro's Number of atoms. To find the actual mass of a single atom, the gram atomic mass must therefore be divided by 6.022 X 1023.
Atomic mass of an atom is called?
What do you mean? Atomic mass of an atom is the weighted average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element, measured in amu (=atomic mass unit). I do not know how do you want to call it, it is just atomic mass, average atomic mass, mass of an atom, atom's mass...
What does atomic mass represent of an element represent?
Atomic Mass represents the mass of atom. We use mass of protons and neutrons.
Why does not an atom of an element represent the actual mass of its atom?
The atomic mass of an element is measured not in the mass of the atom, but in the number of grams per mole.
What does the mass number of an atom represent?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of a chemical element.
What does the number above the symbol represent?
The atomic number.
What does the atomic mass of the element represent?
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
What do the numbers on mendeleev's periodic table represent?
The Atomic number which is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
How do you determine the atom the atomic mass of an atom?
Proton + Nuetron = Atomic Mass
What is the atomic mass of an atom?
The atomic mass of an atom is the combined mass of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
What does the Mass number in chemistry represent?
the atomic mass incdicated the amount of protons and neutrons of the atom
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
The atomic mass of an atom is the?
The atomic mass of an atom is the mass of 6.011 X 10^23 atoms of that element.
