How can the atomic atom be used to determine the number of neutrons?
The atomic weight of any given isotope of an element is the result of the protons and the neutrons. The number of protons is the same as the atomic number, so if you subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight, voila, there is the number of neutrons. Bear in mind that elements have more than one isotope, and each isotope has a different number of neutrons. So the atomic weight is the result of a mixture of isotopes that appear in nature.
why are some atoms of the same element heivier than others?
Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number, but a different number of neutrons giving each elemental isotope a different atomic weight.
What is the Atomic weight of the Oxygen?
The atomic weight is 15.9994 (slightly less than the atomic number 16).
Is mercury a heavier element than tin?
Yes, mercury (Hg) is a heavier element than tin (Sn). Mercury has an atomic number of 80 and an atomic weight of 200.59 g/mol, while tin has an atomic number of 50 and an atomic weight of 118.71 g/mol.
What is a atomic number in a element?
The atomic number of an element refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element, and is unique to each element. The atomic weight is the weight of an atom of the element compared with the weight of a single proton, and consists of number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom of that element, and different atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore more than one atomic weight: it is usually given as an average. the atomic number on an element is simply the number of protons and electrons in the element. however, it is not the total number of them.
Does cobalt or lead have a less atomic number of mass?
Cobalt has a lower atomic number than lead. Cobalt’s atomic number is 27, while lead’s atomic number is 82. This means cobalt has fewer protons in its nucleus compared to lead.
Which scientist discovered that the atomic number rather than the atomic weight is more responsible for the properties of an element?
Henry Moseley, a British physicist, made this discovery in 1913 through his experiments with X-ray spectra. Moseley's work led to the reorganization of the periodic table based on atomic number instead of atomic weight.
Is osmium a heavier element than iodine?
Yes, osmium is a heavier element than iodine. Osmium has an atomic number of 76 and a higher atomic weight than iodine, which has an atomic number of 53.
What has a different mass number than the normal atom?
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.
Can an atom of two different elements have the same mass number?
Yes. The mass number is basic to the different elements, even more useful than the atomic number. (Unless it is an isotope. Isotopes have a different amount of neutrons than the basic element atom which makes a difference in mass number too. So, a difference in mass numbers doesn't always mean it is a different element.)
What does the atomic weight of an atom represent?
Atomic weight is sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons, as members of the nucleus, are sometimes called nucleons. The atomic weight is sometimes said to be the nucleon number.The relative atomic mass (Ar) (also known as atomic weight and average atomic mass) is the average of the atomic masses of all the chemical element's isotopes as found in a particular environment, weighted by isotopic abundance. This is frequently used as a synonym for the standard atomic weightand it is not incorrect to do so since the standard atomic weights are relative atomic masses, although it is less specific to do so. Relative atomic mass also refers to non-terrestrial environments and highly specific terrestrial environments that deviate from the average or have different certainties (number of significant figures) than the standard atomic weights.A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on atomic weight.
