The mass spectrometer was used.
This is Dalton's Atomic Theory:Dalton's Atomic Theory1) All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.2) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties3) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.4) A chemical reaction is arearrangement of atoms.
Increases it by one mass unit.
What is the mass, in grams, of 2 × 1012 atoms of potassium?
Under normal circumstances it is impossible to make atoms split apart, ie so that mass cannot be lost. This is a scientific law. In a Nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy, e=mc2. This means that mass will be lost.
Unstable atoms are said to be radioactive
A Triple Beam Balance is used to find the mass of an object.
Scales - depending on the size of the mass maybe 'balance scales' or 'bathroom scales' or 'kitchen scales'. Mass is the proper scientific word for 'weight'
Rutherford discovered that almost entire mass of an atom is located in the nucleus, and then, the neutron was discovered by Chadwick.
mass. That scientific, or laboratory instrument, is usually called a Beam Balance.
You might discover that solids have mass and they have volume.

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.
The most common instrument used to measure isotopes is a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry allows scientists to accurately determine the mass and abundance of isotopes in a sample. It works by ionizing the atoms in the sample and separating them based on their mass-to-charge ratio.
just like any other elements if you are talking about the size or mass of one or a few atoms, then you probably want to ust scientific notation.
Mass of 1 Helium atom is 4 amu and mass of 1 Carbon atom is 12 amu. So there are 10 helium atoms and 10 carbon atoms
Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
