Two elements can have the same Atomic Mass if one has more or less neutrons than protons in the nucleus. These are called isotopes.

Does an isotope of an element have a different 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.


What is the atomic mass the same as?

The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons and electrons that an element has.


Can atoms of two different elements have the same atomic number and could they have the same mass number?

The atomic number, or Proton number, defines which element it is. So by definition, two different elements must have a different atomic number, or else they'd be the same element. Atomic mass is the number of protons + neutrons in the element's nucleus. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary, even within a single element (as isotopes) it is possible to have one isotope of one element sharing an atomic mass with an isotope of another element.


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.


Is there an element that has the same atomic number and atomic mass?

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.


Does the element change when the atomic mass changes?

No, the element remains the same even when the atomic mass changes. Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, but changing the number of neutrons does not change the identity of the element.


Do the element in the periodic table have the same atomic mass?

no

When 2 atoms appear to have same atomic mass?

When they are of the same element.


What element has an atomic mass of 4.0?

The element with an atomic mass of 4.0 is helium. Helium has an atomic number of 2, which means it has two protons in its nucleus. It also has two neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 4.0.


Is atomic mass and molar mass similar and mass number of particles the same?

Atomic mass and molar mass are similar concepts but not the same. Atomic mass refers to the average mass of an atom of an element, while molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. The mass number of particles can be the same in certain cases, such as isotopes of the same element which have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons.
