Why the relative atomic mass is not a whole number?
Bexause its similar with the atomic mass
Can explain in terms of isotopes why the relative atomic mass of atomic number 17 is not a whole number?
Mass number is the average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element. When calculated, this average is not a whole number.
Why carbon is the only element with a relative atomic number which is a whole number?
Carbon has an atomic number of 6 because it has 6 protons in its nucleus. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which is a fundamental property of each element. In the case of carbon, its atomic number is a whole number because it has a specific and precise number of protons.
Why is the atomic mass of an element not a whole number while the atomic number is?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the atom. Since the proton cannot be an in-between number, the atomic number will have to be a whole number. On the other hand, the atomic mass does not have to be a whole number because it is the mass of an atom and is roughly equivalent to the number of protons plus the average number of neutrons in that particular element.
Is 40.08 the atomic number?
No. Atomic number is always a whole number. This would be the atomic mass.
What is average atomic number?
There is no average atomic number. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. It is a whole and finite number. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
What element has the atomic number for 3.14?
No element has this atomic number. All atomic numbers are whole numbers.
Why is the atomic mass of an element not usually given as a whole number even though each individual atom of the element has a whole number of protons and neutrons?
It's because of electrons, they have a relative mass of 1/1836
What is the the atomic number for carbon rounded to the nearest whole number?
6. An atomic number is always a whole number, so it does not need rounding.
What is the nearest whole number of atomic mass of potassium?
The nearest Whole number of atomic mass of potassium is 69
What is the difference between Mass number and Relative of atomic mass?
Atomic mass is the average of the masses of the naturally existing (i.e. mixture of) isotopes of one specific element.The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom (specific for one specific isotope).
What is an element's atomic mass not listed as a whole number on the periodic table?
Few elements have isotopes. their atomic mass is not a whole number.
