The atomic weight scale is based upon international agreement that?

the atomic weight scale is based upon the relative atomic masses of elements compared to carbon-12, which has an assigned value of 12. This standardization allows for consistency and accuracy in comparing the masses of different elements.


What is the atomic weight of Helium atom?

Helium atom has 2 protons and 2 neutrons (that accounts for its atomic weight). The atomic weight of helium is 4.00260


What is the difference between atomic percent and weight percent?

Atomic percent is based on the number of atoms in a sample. So if the sample has x number of oxygen atoms and x number of iron atoms it would report 50% oxygen and 50% iron (atomic percent). Weight percent is based on the mass of the elements detected. So if we used the above example and reported the results as weight percent we would get 22.3% oxygen and 77.7% iron. Weight percent takes into consideration the mass or atomic weight of the elements and not just the number of atoms. Most people use weight percent although for chemistry atomic percent may be more useful.


Who made the periodic table based on atomic weight?

Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Mayer (independently).


One has an atomic weight of 120.9038 amu with 57.25 percent abundance the other has an amu of 122.8831 what is the atomic weight of the element?

To calculate the atomic weight of the element, you need to consider the weighted average of the two isotopes based on their abundance. Atomic weight = (atomic mass isotope 1 * abundance isotope 1) + (atomic mass isotope 2 * abundance isotope 2) Plugging in the values: Atomic weight = (120.9038 amu * 0.5725) + (122.8831 amu * 0.4275) = 69.17 + 52.6 = 121.77 amu.


How many examples of the Periodic table can you find?

I can find only two types The Mendeleves Periodic table based on Atomic weight of elements and The Modern Periodic table based on Atomic number of elements.


An average of the masses of all the naturallly occurring isotopes of an element?

The weighted average for all isotopes that occur in nature for an element is its atomic weight listed on the Periodic Table of the elements.


What is the equivalent weight of boron?

Boron is a chemical with a symbol of B and an atomic number of 5. The equivalent weight of boron is dependent on the chemical that it is combining with.


What is gram atomic mass of sulfur?

The gram atomic mass of sulfur is 32.1 grams per mole. This value is calculated based on the atomic weight of sulfur, which is 32.06 g/mol.


Average weight of an element expressed in atomic mass units?

The average weight of an element is expressed in atomic mass units (amu) and is calculated based on the relative atomic masses of the isotopes of that element weighted by their abundance in nature. This value can be found on the periodic table for each element. For example, the average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 amu.


How you calculate the relative atomic weight of uranium?

The atomic weight of an element is derived from the atomic masses of the isotopes of this element and from the percentage of these isotopes. The correct terms are: - atomic weight for elements - atomic mass for an isotope


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.
