What is the difference between isobar and isotope?

isobars are elements with same mass numbers (Atomic Mass) and different atomic number (number of proton or electron)


What is the difference between atomic mass and relative atomic mass?

Atomic mass is the measure of a mass of one atom in relation to 1/12 mass of Carbon 12 atom and measured in atomic mass unit(amu) or Dalton unit or grams/mol.Relative atomic mass is also the relative mass but does not have a unit but a ratio number.


Relation between subatomic particles and atomic mass unit?

protons and neutrons are subatomic particles and adding the two amounts together gives you the atomic mass unit


The atomic mass of an atom is equal to the sum of numbers of what?

protons + electrons= atomic mass NUMBER, not the atomic mass.


What is the general relationship between atomic number and atomic mass weight?

As atomic number rises so does the atomic mass. There is no close relationship. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. Average atomic mass takes the mass of naturally occurrring isotopes which include the mass of the varying numbers of neutrons present which account for a large proportion of the overall mass of an atom.


What is the relation of subatomic mass to atomic number?

Atomic number = number of protons or number of electrons


What is the difference between atomic mass and atomic mass unit?

The atomic mass unit is used to express the measure of the atomic mass.


Do isotopes of an element have the same atomic mass but different atomic number?

The different mass numbers are due to different numbers of neutrons.


What is the atomic mass on the periodic table?

Each element on the periodic table has two numbers: the atomic number and the relative atomic mass. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, and the relative atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons (so the difference between them is the number of neutrons). The relative atomic mass is always the higher of the two.


How are atomic mass and atom numbers related?

The mass number is the number of the Atomic Mass. The atomic mass is the mass of the atom of the element. There is no difference between the two, except mass number is referring to the number, while atomic mass is referring to the atom's mass in general, which is also expressed by a number. Basically, both terms mean the exact same thing.


What is atomic mass and the number of calcium?

Calcium has atomic number of 20, an atomic weight of 40.078 and an mass numbers of 40 - 48 inclusive in its isotopes. Atomic number is the count of protons in the nucleus. Mass number is the count of protons plus neutrons. The question refers to atomic mass rather than atomic weight. Atomic mass normally refers to the mass of a specific isotope of an element and is related to the mass number. Atomic weight ( or relative atomic mass as it is termed by IUPAC) the average mass of naturally occurring isotopes of an element. The relationship between mass number and atomic mass is defined in terms of the Atomic mass unit which is in simple terms 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom. If you need to find out more about the relationship between mass number and and atomic mass you need to read the article "atomic mass unit" in wikipedia.


What is the average of the mass numbers of isotopes of an element?
