Mass would denote, in layman's terms, the total amount of matter something has. For example, we humans have mass, and weight (an oft confused but totally different thing) is the pressure it takes to keep us on the ground. Atomic Mass however, refers to the overall mass of an atom. This value is measured in amu (atomic mass units). Approximately, each proton and neutron is worth 1 amu, while the weight of electrons is almost so small that it has little effect in small amounts.

Is the atomic radius the same as the atomic mass?
no atomic radius is not the same as atomic mass because it is 10 to the power of 10 and atomic mass is different for different elements
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
The atomic mass of a mole?
When isotopes are considered, they have the same atomic number but differed mass numbers.
Is the atomic number and atomic mass the same?
No, the atomic number is the amount of protons it has and the weight is its mass
Is atomic mass and molar mass similar and mass number of particles the same?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
Do isotopes have the same atomic number and the same atomic mass?
No: They have the same atomic number but not the same atomic mass.
Is the atomic radius the same as the atomic mass?
no atomic radius is not the same as atomic mass because it is 10 to the power of 10 and atomic mass is different for different elements
What is the atom with same atomic number but different mass number?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
What is the same in isotopes?
isotopes always have the same? mass # & atomic #, or atomic # and atomic weight, or atomic # but different mass #'s
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
The atomic mass of a mole?
When isotopes are considered, they have the same atomic number but differed mass numbers.
Is the atomic number and atomic mass the same?
No, the atomic number is the amount of protons it has and the weight is its mass
Is the atomic mass and number the same thing?
No, the atomic mass consists of protons, but the atomic mass consists of both protons and neutrons.
What relationship exist between the atomic mass and the isotopes?
When atomic mass is expressed in unified atomic mass units, it is similar to isotopic mass and has the same numerical value as that of atomic mass. The atomic mass or the relative isotopic mass is the mass of one atom which at a time can be only one isotope.
Is atomic mass and molar mass similar and mass number of particles the same?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
The atomic mass is the?
The expression atomic mass is used only for isotopes; the atomic mass is the mass of an atom expressed in unified atomic mass units - (1 amu = 1/12 atomic mass of carbon-12).For elements the expression is atomic weight; the unit is the same.
What is the gram atomic mass of nitrogen?
gram atomic mass (or atomic mass) of nitrogen (N) is 14 u.
