Which is the average of the mass numbers of an element's isotopes?
the Atomic Mass
in an element box what does the number with a decimal stand for?
I Believe You Are Referring To The Atomic Mass.
What is the difference between the mass number and average atomic mass in chemistry?
The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, while the average atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of all isotopes of an element, taking into account their abundance.
What is the difference between the atomic number and the atomic weight of the known elements as listed on the periodic table?
The atomic number of the element is the number of protons or number of electrons in an atom of the element . The atomic weight of the element is the ratio of the mass of the atom to the 1/12th of the mass of the atom of carbon 12.
What is the average mass of the atoms element?
The average atomic weight (not mass for elements) of a chemical element is calculated taking into account the isotopic composition of this element and the atomic masses (not weight for isotopes) of these isotopes.
How is the mass number of an isotope different from the average atomic mass that is on the periodic table?
The mass number for a particular isotope of an element is a precise value. The average atomic mass for an element is the value you would measure for that element given all the isotopes it has and their abundance in the sample.
Which is the average of the mass number of an element isotpes?
The atomic weight or atomic mass.
How is the molar mass of an element related to average atomic mass?
The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of atoms in that element. It is directly related to the average atomic mass, which is the weighted average of the masses of all isotopes of that element based on their natural abundance. The molar mass is usually very close to the average atomic mass of the element.
What is the atomic mass number of 28.09?
The atomic mass number of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. To get the atomic mass number of 28.09, it typically corresponds to the average atomic mass of an element on the periodic table. For example, the element silicon has an average atomic mass of approximately 28.09, indicating that a silicon atom has an atomic mass number of around 28.
Which is the average of the mass numbers of an element's isotopes?
the Atomic Mass
What is the difference between mass number relative atomic mass and average atomic mass?
The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Relative atomic mass is the weighted average mass of all the isotopes of an element, taking into account their natural abundance. Average atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an element's isotopes in a given sample, considering their abundance in that sample.
What is the mass of an element?
The mass of an element is determined by the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. This mass is typically measured in atomic mass units (amu) and is an average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element.
Which best describes the definition for the atomic mass of an element?
The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of an element's isotopes, weighted by their natural abundance. It is expressed in atomic mass units (u) and is often close to the mass number of the most abundant isotope of the element.
What does a mass number determine?
mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons DIFFERENT FROM ATOMIC MASS atomic mass = weighted average of all the isotopes of that element
What is a mass number atomic mass number?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. This number is fixed and determines what element that atom is. The Atomic Mass is the mass of an atom and is roughly equivalent to the number of protons plus the average number of neutrons that atoms of that particular element.
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.
Why is the atomtic mass of element an average mass?
The atomic mass of an element is the average of all the isotopes of that element that exist on this earth, either naturally or artificially. An isotope is an atom that differs in the number of neutrons that it would normally have (which is usually the same as the number of protons it has, except in the case of hydrogen).
