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.

Why is there an average atomic mass?

There is an average atomic mass because all atoms of the same element do not have the same amount of neutrons (isotopes), therefore variations in atomic mass exist. The average atomic mass of an element is the estimated average of all the atoms of the same element, given the average of different isotopes in a scientific sample.


What is the relationship between the atomic mass of an element and a mole of that elements atoms?

The mole is the atomic weight expressed in grams.


The molar mass of an element is equal to?

The element's average atomic mass.


What tells you how heavy an element's atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?

The atomic mass of an element tells you how heavy its atoms are compared with atoms of other elements. Atomic mass is the average mass of an atom of an element, taking into account all its isotopes and their abundance.


The average atomic mass grams shown on the periodic table for each element is also the mass of?

one mole of atoms of the element


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 number determined by the average mass of naturally occurring atoms of a given element?

I believe it is a mole


The molar mass of an element is the mass of one?

The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of atoms of that element, measured in grams per mole. It is calculated by summing the atomic masses of the atoms in a chemical formula.


What is the average mass of the isotope of an element?

the average mass numbers of the isotopes of an element


The mass of any two atoms of the same element is always the same?

The masses of any two atoms of the same element are not always the same. Atomic mass (the mass you see on the periodic table) is just a weighted average of all of the weights of all of the different isotopes of an element.


What does an element's molar mass tell you about the element?

An element's molar mass represents the mass of one mole of that element in grams. It tells you the average atomic mass of the element, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of its atoms. Molar mass helps in determining the amount of substance in moles when given the mass of the sample.


The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element's?

atoms based on the abundance of each isotope. It is calculated by taking the mass of each isotope of the element multiplied by its relative abundance, then summing up these values to get the atomic mass.
