weight has 6 letters while mass has 4 letters in it.. :)
:D
isotopes always have the same? mass # & atomic #, or atomic # and atomic weight, or atomic # but different mass #'s
The atomic weight is taken as the average weight or mass of the different isotopes of the Same atom That exists in the different %age in our enviromenT
Unified atomic mass unit
Isotopes - that same element with a different atomic weight.
The atomic weight (not mass) of hydrogen is: [1,00784; 1,00811]; the conventional value is 1,008. The atomic weight (not mass) of oxygen is: [15,99903; 15,99977]; the conventional value is 15,999.
From the New World Encyclopedia, "Technically, atomic mass is equal to the total mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom (when the atom is motionless), plus the mass contained in the binding energy of the atom's nucleus."Mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Mass number varies with individual isotopes due to the fact that atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons.
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 mass (weight) of the element measured in atomic mass units (AMU)
The atomic weight (not mass) of sodium is: 22,989 769 28.The atomic weight (not mass) of chlorine is: 35,45.
Atomic weight 28.086
If an atom looses an electron, neither the atomic mass nor atomic weight change appreciatively. If it looses a proton or neutron, both atomic mass and atomic weight decrease by one and it becomes an atom of a different element (on loss of a proton), or a different isotope of the same element (upon loss of a neutron).
If you look critically, then you can say that mass is the amount of matter contained in a body and weight is the force with which an object is pulled by earth's gravitational force.But in this case, atomic mass is the mass of an atom (expressed as a dimensionless number = the number of protons + number of neutrons), while atomic weight is a weighted average of a sample of the substance. With different isotopes, it will differ from the atomic mass. See related link.
