How the atomic mass of an element is affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature?
The atomic mass of an element is the average of its isotopes, weighted by abundance in nature.
The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element's?
For the chemical elements the correct expression is atomic weight.This value is the weighted average mass of the natural isotopes of this element.
What information does atomic mass give you?
Atomic mass is the average mass of all isotopes of a given element.
How is the atomic mass of an element is affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature?
Isotopes have a different amount of Neutrons. The atomic mass is the sum of Protons and Neutrons. Therefore having a different number of Neutrons makes the atomic mass greater. Or vice versa. Boom. Solved.
What is atomic mass an average of?
"Atomic Mass" is not an average, it is tje total mass of all the electrons, protons and neutrons in an atom of an element. AVERAGE Atomic Mass is the AVERAGE of the Atomic Masses of all of the Isotopes of an element according to their natural proportions.
Which is the average of the mass numbers of an element's isotopes?
the Atomic Mass
How is the atomic mass of an element affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature?
The atomic mass of an element is the average of its isotopes, weighted by abundance in nature.
How the atomic mass of an element is affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature?
The atomic mass of an element is the average of its isotopes, weighted by abundance in nature.
What is the average of the mass numbers of isotopes of an element?
the atomic mass
What is needed to find the average atomic mass of the element?
the mass of the isotopes
The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element's?
For the chemical elements the correct expression is atomic weight.This value is the weighted average mass of the natural isotopes of this element.
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.
Why is there an average atomic mass?
There is an average atomic mass because all atoms of the same element do not have the same amount of neutrons (isotopes), therefore variations in atomic mass exist. The average atomic mass of an element is the estimated average of all the atoms of the same element, given the average of different isotopes in a scientific sample.
What information does atomic mass give you?
Atomic mass is the average mass of all isotopes of a given element.
What is the average mass of all the isotopes of an element?
This is the atomic weight.
How is average weight of atomic mass computed?
the average atomic mass is computed by summing all isotopic weights of the isotopes of that element and then dividing this by the the total number of isotopes of that element (note that isotopic mass is exactly the same as atomic weight, except for isotopes).
Why is the atomic mass of an element an average?
The atomic mass is an average because most elements consist of a mixture of isotopes.
