Weight: the amount or quantity of heaviness or mass; amount a thing weighs.

Mass: a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size:

example: When on the moon for example, your weigh will differ from your weight on earth. Your mass however does not change.

5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass for isotopes. The element atoms on the periodic table represent the average mass of all its naturally occurring isotopes.


Does nitrogen and oxygen weigh the same?

No, one mole of each, having the same VOLUME (about 22.4 L at STP), differ though in their masses: 32 g/mol for O2 and 28 g/mol for N2 So their densities (mass per volume) also differ in the same way: 1.43 g/L and 1.25 g/L respectively, at STP.


A radioactive element has a half-life of 1000 years. If a sample of this element begins with a mass of 20 grams how long would you have to wait for the mass to decrease to 5 grams?

Since the element has a half-life of 1000 years, it will take two half-lives for the mass to decrease to 5 grams from 20 grams. Two half-lives equal 2000 years, so you would have to wait 2000 years for the mass to decrease to 5 grams.


Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?

Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.


In what way do these atoms corresponds and in what way do they differin terms of their mass numbers?

Atoms correspond in that they are all made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, they differ in their mass numbers, which is the sum of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements have different mass numbers due to varying numbers of protons and neutrons.

Are you allowed to eat meat after Good Friday Mass?

I suppose the answer is yes. But you have to wait until Mass is over. Since there is no Mass on Good Friday you will have to wait until after the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday. Otherwise you are free to eat meat after midnight on Friday night.

Why does isotopes have different mass from one another?

because they differ in the number of neutrons


Do isotopes of the same element differ in mass number?

isotopes just mean they have a different number of neutrons so if the..Mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons -they will have a different (greater) mass


What is the term for atoms of the same element that differ in their mass numbers?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
