Did Dmitri Mendeleev organize elements by atomic numbers or atomic mass?

At first, he did it by atomic mass, but that didn't quite work out right, so he changed it to atomic number.

the relative atomic masses of compounds changed into g grams called the gram atomic mass of that element.for example mass of hydrogen 1.008 gram etc


What can you infer about two substances that have the same atomic number but different atomic mass what term would you use to classify the substance?

They are isotopes. They are the same element with a different amount of nuetrons, which can be determined depending upon the Atomic Mass and the atomic number, which results in the changed atomic mass.


How is the atomic mass number of a nucleus changed by alpha decay or by beta decay or by gamma decay?

The mass does not change much. The Atomic number will increase though.


What is relative atomic mass and atomic mass amu?

The relative atomic mass was first proposed by John Dalton in 1803. According to it, the mass of an atom was expressed relative to the mass of one 1H atom. The unit was later changed to 1/16 of the mass of an oxygen atom. However, this measure was discarded when 17O and 18O were discovered. In 1961 the basic unit was changed (once again) to 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom. The mass of any atom or molecule is measured in atomic mass units (AMU) and the units is defined as 1/12 the mass of a 12Carbon atom.
