How do you calculate mass of molecules?

I would need more information, it depends on what you are given Possibility 1: force x mass = acceleration, so mass = acceleration/force Possibility 2 density = mass/volume, so mass = density x volume Possibility 3 momentum = mass x velocity, so mass = momentum/velocity


What is the element with the most mass per nucleon?

The element has the lowest mass per nuclear particle is Iron, while hydrogen is the element with the highest mass per nuclear particle. Cause "nuclear particle" here means particles forming nucleus, like proton or neutron. Hydrogen has just one proton, and an atomic mass of 1.00794, it's mass per nuclear particle is also 1.00794. For heavier elements like Iron, they have higher atomic mass but also more particles in their nucleus. For instance, iron has 26 protons and 30 neutrons, and an atomic mass of 55.847, it's mass per nuclear particle should be 55.847/(26+30)<1, which is much smaller than that of hydrogen.


Are Minerals that are made up of elements with lower atomic masses have higher densities than minerals made up of atoms with higher atomic masses?

Density is mass per unit volume. So, more is the mass of element, denser will be the mineral


What is the atomic number and atomic mass of this element?

Atomic number is the number of protons. Atomic mass is (mostly) the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons (more or less).


What is the atomic mass in Hindi?

The atomic mass (ma) is the mass of a specific isotope, most often expressed in unified atomic mass units.[1] The atomic mass is the total mass of protons, neutrons and electrons in a single atom.[2]The atomic mass is sometimes incorrectly used as a synonym of relative atomic mass, average atomic mass and atomic weight; these differ subtly from the atomic mass. The atomic mass is defined as the mass of an atom, which can only be one isotope at a time and is not an abundance-weighted average as in the case of atomic weight. In the case of many elements that have one dominant isotope the actual numerical similarity/difference between the atomic mass of the most common isotope and the relative atomic mass or standard atomic weights can be very small such that it does not affect most bulk calculations-but such an error can be critical when considering individual atoms. For elements with more than one common isotope the difference even to the most common atomic mass can be half a mass unit or more (e.g. chlorine). The atomic mass of an uncommon isotope can differ from the relative atomic mass or standard atomic weight by several mass units.

What are the properties of elements more closely related to?

its atomic number There are there properties of an element to mass. The three properties are density, melting and electrical.


What were the long term result in America after the atomic bomb?

The long term result of the use of the Atomic bomb by the US in WW2, has been building new and larger nuclear weapons/bombs. Despite the advances in nuclear activity, it can clearly be seen that the "fear" of using the mass destruction of nuclear weapons has been that no more nuclear or atomic bombs have ever been used again.

How does mass affect an object density?

Mass divided by volume equals density. For the same volume, if the mass is more then the density is higher.

Why will a dense area of rock under the surface increase the local strength of gravity?

density is directly proportional to the mass density = mass / volume more density, then more mass and more mass, more gravity, as gravity force = mass x gravity acceleration.

Why does the density of a liquid increase when it is more concentrated?

The density is the ratio mass/volume; increasing the the concentration the mass and density are increased.
