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.
What is the mass number of sliver?
Mass number is a property of isotopes, not elements themselves. Naturally occurring silver is a mixture of isotopes with mass numbers 107 and 109, with an average atomic mass of 107.9.
Weighted average mass of the mixture of its isotopes?
Average atomic mass I think.
What is the average of the mass numbers of an elements isotopes?
the Atomic Mass
What is the average mass of the mixture of an element's isotopes?
It is called the Relative Atomic Mass.
Why do elements have a listed average atomic mass and not just atomic mass?
Because most naturally occurring elements are a mixture of isotopes, each having a different atomic mass. These individual isotopic atomic masses must be combined accounting for the amount of each isotope of the element is present to get a weighted average atomic mass.
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.
Why is the average mass used when calculating grams of a substance?
the elements in the substance are mixtures of their isotopes
What is the average mixture of an elements isotopes?
the answer to that i found in my 8th grade science book and it is the mass number i doubt anyone would search this but me but i thought i didn't have my book so i turned to answers.com
Why is the average atomic mass used when calculating grams of a substance?

What Is the weighted average of all of the isotopes of an element.?
The answer is the atomic weight of the original element: It's the number on the top left of each element square of the Periodic Table.
Why elements don't have whole numbers?
do you mean the why is the average atomic mass not a whole number? because if that is your question, then the answer is that each element has multipal isotopes and the mass you see on the periodic table is the average of all the isotopes together. So there has to be a decimal on the periodic table of elements
