Atomic numbers increase from left to right across a period on the periodic table. This is because each element in a period has one more proton in its nucleus compared to the element before it. Atomic masses generally increase from left to right as well, but there may be deviations due to isotopes or other factors. Within a group or column, atomic numbers and atomic masses increase from top to bottom as each successive element has more electrons and neutrons than the one above it.
A mass spectrometer is a device used to determine atomic masses by separating and measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. By analyzing the deflection of ions in a magnetic or electric field, the mass spectrometer can provide accurate measurements of atomic masses.
Isotopes describe atoms with different atomic masses due to varying numbers of neutrons.
Atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass while maintaining the same chemical properties.
Isotopes of an element have different masses but the same atomic number. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.
Carbon (12).
Carbon-12 (12C) is used as the standard in the relative scale for atomic masses, and its assigned atomic mass is 12 atomic mass units.
Carbon-12 is used as the standard relative scale for atomic masses. This is defined as having a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units (u). Other elements are compared to this standard to determine their atomic masses.
The isotope used as the reference for atomic masses is carbon-12, with a mass of 12 atomic mass units (amu).
True. Hydrogen-1, also known as protium, is the standard used for the relative scale of atomic masses. Its mass is defined as exactly 1 atomic mass unit (amu) on the atomic mass scale.
John Dalton tried to work out the relative masses of atoms; but his calculations were wrong, although the principle was correct. He was, however, the first to establish a table of atomic masses with hydrogen, the lightest atom, as the standard.
Dalton used hydrogen as his standard for atomic mass because it is the lightest element and was convenient for comparing the masses of other elements.
All things considered. It is the standard American way.
The atomic mass unit (u) or unified atomic mass unit (amu) is the standard unit used to measure the masses of atomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. 1 atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12th of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom.

You will get the atomic bomb!
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The atomic mass listed on the periodic table is an average of all the isotopes of an element, which includes the mass of the protons and neutrons. Therefore, the atomic masses listed for oxygen (16) and hydrogen (1) are in daltons.
