Atomic mass of an element?
The atomic mass of an element is the relative mass of its atom as compared with the mass of a carbon-12 atom taken as 12 units.
What is the difference between relative isotopic mass and relative atomic mass?
Atomic Mass is 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.Relative atomic mass is the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.Relative isotopic mass is the mass of an atom of an isotope of an element compared with one-twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon-12.Thus an element will have ONE Relative Atomic Mass but there may be MANY individual Relative Isotopic Masses for an Element (depending on how many Isotopes it has).
Which element has the smallest atom?
hydrogen This is because it has the smallest Relative Atomic Mass =]
The number of an atom is obtained by totaling the number of?
The Atomic Mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.The relative atomic mass is the average atomic mass number of all the known isotopes of an element.
The of an element is defined as the average mass of an atom of the element compared to 112th the mass of an atom of carbon-12. What are the three missing words?
relative atomic mass
Why atomic mass of atom is defined as relative atomic mass?
It is calculated as the ratio of the mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. In fact, the weighted average of the mass of an atom of an element - weighted according to its isotopic abundance.

An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom How does it differ from the element atom?
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
What is relative atomic mass and how it is related with gram?
when atomic mass of an element expressed in gram atom is called gram atom mass . and formula is number of gram atom=given mass (in gram) by atomic mass ( in gram )
How does the average atomic mass of an element differ from the mass of an individual atom of the same element?
The masses and relative abundances of all naturally occurring isotopes of the element are required to calculate average atomic mass of the element.
