...electrons, as they account for a negligible mass relative to the atom as a whole (electrons make up 1/1840th of the total mass, to be precise).
it does not include the mass of electrons in he atom.
The term atomic mass is used only for isotopes; for chemical elements the term atomic weight is recommended.But atomic masses and atomic weights include also all electrons.
No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.
By Atomic Mass
Gold is a meta element. Atomic Mass of it is 197.
Atomic Mass.
The term atomic mass is used only for isotopes; for chemical elements the term atomic weight is recommended.But atomic masses and atomic weights include also all electrons.
Elements were originally placed in order of atomic massnow they are placed in order of atomic number
Generally the term "atomic mass" is used for isotopes. For elements is preferred now "atomic weight".
No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.
By Atomic Mass
The molar mass of a compound is the sum of atomic weights of the contained elements in the molecule.The expression atomic weight is correct for elements; for isotopes is correct atomic mass.
Gold is a meta element. Atomic Mass of it is 197.
Atomic Mass.
Mendeleev arranged elements in order of increasing mass. Later modern periodic table was discovered that contains elements arranged by atomic number.
The atomic mass of iodine is less than the atomic mass of all elements with greater atomic number.
Mendeleev arranged the elements in the periodic table according to their atomic masses.
Iron is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 55.84.
