How atomic number better than atomic mass?
No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.
Do sulfur-36 and argon-36 have the same atomic number?
No, they have the same atomic mass, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. No two elements have the same atomic number.
Atoms of different elements are what?
Atoms of different elements have no specific relationship but if they have same no of neutrons then they are isotones, if they have same mass no then they are isobars, atomic no of two elements can neither be same.
What 2 elements have the closest atomic mass?
The two elements with the closest atomic mass are Bromine (atomic mass 79.9 amu) and Krypton (atomic mass 83.8 amu). They have a difference of only 3.9 atomic mass units.
Why is atomic number better than atomic mass for organizing the elements in the periodic table?
Atomic number is a unique number for each element. No two elements have the same atomic number. Atomic number is also the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of any given atom. Atomic mass, however, is the number of protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of neutrons can vary with different isotopes of the same element, this means that atomic mass can vary with different isotopes. So atomic number does not vary, but atomic mass does, so it is more logical to use atomic number to organize the elements. In addition, when the elements are arranged according to atomic number into seven rows and 18 columns, it becomes evident that there are certain trends that occur across the periods, and that elements in the same group have similar properties.

How is it possible for two isotopes of different elements to have the same mass?
The atomic mass of an isotope is the sum of protons, neutrons and electrons masses.
What happens where two elements have the same atomic number?
No two different elements can have the same atomic number.
What two elements have an atomic mass of 1?
only one element (hydrogen) has the atomic mass of 1.
What are the two ways that an elements symbol can be represented?
Atomic mass and Atomic number
Why can an element have the same atomic mass as another element?
Two elements can have the same atomic mass if one has more or less neutrons than protons in the nucleus. These are called isotopes. not much to im prov thank you
Can the atomic number be multiplied by two then equal the atomic mass?
Not generally. For light elements this relation is often approximately true, but for heavier elements, the gram atomic mass is more than two times the atomic number, as the ratio of neutrons to protons increases with increasing atomic mass.

What two factors determine the atomic mass of an elements?
neutrons and protons
