Best Answer

It tells you the mass of how many protons and how many neutrons plus the tiny mass of the electrons. The electrons are about .0016 amu

so they still have mass

How are atoms and elements relate?

How are elements and atoms related? An element is a substance that contains only a single type of atom. The number of atoms is not important as long as all the atoms are of the same type. You cannot separate an element into other substances..... there are as many elements as atoms - more them 100.

Are molecules made up of atoms or combined elements?

Yes, atoms make up almost everything, they can only be broken down into protons, neutrons and electrons. An element is a substance found on the periodic table with certain rules and regulations given to each element. An element is made up only of atoms. A compound is a mixture of two or more elements that can be broken down into elements again, it is not a pure substance as such. So a compound is made up of elements, elements are made of atoms.


Atoms that are the same kind is called?

Isotopes - atoms with the same atomic number, number of protons and number of electrons


How are atoms connected to an element?

Well the connection between atoms and elements is they are a compound... Usually compounds have quite different properties (e.g. colour, texture, taste, smell and density) from the elements whose atoms they contain... For example: the compound of water is a liquid at room temperature. Water contains atoms of the elements hydrogen and oxygen, which exist in air as colourless glass - quite different to water...


How do atoms define or determine elements?

Each element is different so for a certain element to be define/determined it has different atoms to make it up so no other element has the same atoms
