all atoms have different masses

Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?

an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same


Is the mass of a hydrogen atom is different from the mass of an oxygen atom?

The atomic weight (not mass) of hydrogen is: [1,00784; 1,00811]; the conventional value is 1,008. The atomic weight (not mass) of oxygen is: [15,99903; 15,99977]; the conventional value is 15,999.


Does water have more hydrogen or oxygen in it?

By number of atoms it has more hydrogen, by mass it has more oxygen. Each water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. However, a typical oxygen atom has about 16 times the mass of a typical hydrogen atom.


Is the mass of a hydrogen atom 16 times greater than an oxygen atom?

No, it is inverse.


A molecule of water is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen if the atomic mass number of hydrogen is 1 and the molecular mass of water is 18 the atomic mass of oxygen must be?

The molecular mass of water (H2O) is 18, which means the total mass of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms is 18. Since the atomic mass number of hydrogen is 1, the atomic mass of oxygen can be calculated as 16 (18 - 2).


If the mass of one oxygen atom from water is 16amu what is the mass of one of the two oxygen atoms from hydrogen peroxide?

It's also 16 amu, ignoring the slight possibility of a different isotope.


How can that the body has 10 percent hydrogen and 63 percent of the atoms are hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the lightest of all elements, having atoms that are only a fraction of the mass of all other elements. For example, an oxygen atom has about 16 times the mass of a hydrogen atom. So while a water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom (and water makes up most of the human body), the single oxygen atom accounts for most of the mass of the molecule.


How many times more massive is an oxygen atom than a hyrdogen atom?

The masses of hydrogen, oxygen, and all the elements are on the periodic table. The mass for hydrogen is 1.01, and that for oxygen, 16.0, so a single oxygen atom weighs as much as 16 hydrogen atoms.


Does a carbon atom have the same mass as an oxygen atom?

No all oxygen atoms do not have the same mass as you can get isotypes of the same element which are still called the same except that they can have more or less neutrons than the standard model this is why the weight is refered to as an average mass


Is a hydrogen atom bigger smaller or the same size as an oxygen atom?

Hydrogen atoms are the smallest known elements, and therefore smaller than oxygen atoms (according to atomic weight and atomic mass).


Is an oxygen atom have twice the mass of a sulphur atom?

No, an oxygen atom does not have twice the mass of a sulfur atom. An oxygen atom has a mass of approximately 16 atomic mass units (amu), while a sulfur atom has a mass of approximately 32 amu. Therefore, a sulfur atom has twice the mass of an oxygen atom.


How heavy is one atom of oxygen?

That depends on the atom. An atom of oxygen is 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom (the lightest atom). Uranium atoms are over 200 times heavier than hydrogen. Regardless of what type of atom it is, a single atom won't weigh very much. well i assure you it is small and light specify the question more
