A mole of iron has more mass than a mole of helium, even though they contain the same number of atoms, because 1 atom of iron has a greater mass than 1 atom of helium. It is similar to why 1 dozen bricks has a greater mass than 1 dozen roses. There are 12 items in each case, but 1 brick has a greater mass than 1 rose.

What is the atomicity of an element?

The atomicity of an element refers to the number of atoms present in a single molecule of that element. For example, oxygen has an atomicity of 2 because its molecule contains 2 oxygen atoms (O2), while helium has an atomicity of 1 since it exists as single atoms (He).


What are the two atoms that have th same number of proton called?

they are the same element because an element has an atomic number through its number of protons so if there was an element with 2 protons it would be number 2 in the periodic table which is helium, if another element has 2 protons it should be helium still, if it wasn't modified in anyway
