Its the average of the weight of the different isotopes of that element.
the atomic mass
Yes, isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass on the periodic table is often listed as a range for an element.
The different mass numbers are due to different numbers of neutrons.
Neon is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 20 Atomic number of it is1 180.
the Atomic Mass
Atomic number and atomic mass are not alike. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element. Each element has a unique atomic number. Atomic mass is the combined masses of the protons, neutrons, and electrons of the atoms of an element. Individual isotopes of an element have specific mass numbers, which are the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nuclei of the atoms of the isotope.
put it in your mind! The Atomic number. is number of protons, While The Mass number. is number of protons and electrons. when you subtract both get the number of electrons and this for any element but not all elements have same atomic numbers or mass and Rutherford First discover "transmutation" from element to other element which determine by their atomic and mass numbers.
No, there is no naturally occurring element with the same atomic number and atomic mass. The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes, which have different numbers of neutrons. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its identity. Therefore, the atomic number and atomic mass are different for each element.
The atomic number and atomic mass are the two properties of an element that are usually given as numbers in the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, while the atomic mass represents the average mass of an atom of that element, taking into account the different isotopes and their abundance.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of the element. Mass number is a property of a particular isotope of the element rather than of the element itself: The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom of the isotope.
Isotopes are elements that have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers. For example, Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon.
An An element is considered radioactive if it is so large and unstable that it releases electromagnetic waves and/or neutrons and deteriorates into elements with smaller atomic numbers.
