The Atomic Mass listed in the periodic is found by taking the average of all the different isotopes of a given element found in nature, weighted for their natural abundance.
Note that the atomic mass is not the same as the atomic weight. The atomic mass is the weight of one specific isotope of one atom, and is expressed in "atomic mass units" or amu. The atomic weight is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol) and is the weighted average of all the isotopes weighted by their abundance.
See the Web Links for more information about atomic mass and atomic weight.
What else can I help you with?
How are the atomic numbers and the atomic masses of the elements related to how the elements are arranged on peridoic table?
Elements are arranged in a periodic table by atomic number, lower on top and left. Atomic masses have no direct relationship to the arrangement of atoms, although generally atoms with higher atomic numbers will have higher atomic masses. (There are at least three exceptions for atoms with atomic numbers differing by 1.)
The current standard for atomic masses is?
The current standard for atomic masses is based on the Carbon-12 isotope. It is defined as exactly 12 atomic mass units (amu), with all other atomic masses determined relative to it. This standard allows for consistency in measurements and comparisons of atomic masses across different elements.
Which term describes atoms with different atomic masses due to varying numbers of neutrons?
Isotopes describe atoms with different atomic masses due to varying numbers of neutrons.
How do atomic numbers and atomic masses increase in the periodic table?
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.
What are atoms of the same element thay have different atomic masses?
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.
Why aren't atomic masses of elements not whole numbers?
because of its no. in table of elements
Why don27t elements in the periodic table have whole numbers for their atomic masses?
Because the masses of protons, neutrons and electrons are not whole numbers.
Why the atomic mass numbers listed for elements on the Periodic Table are not whole numbers.?
Why are atomic masses of elements not generally whole numbers? The atomic masses listed on the periodic table are a weighted AVERAGE of an element'sisotopes. ... An element's atomic number is the number of protons in its nucleus. Number of protons specifies atom type.
Why aren't the atomic masses of most elements whole numbers?
The atomic masses of most elements are not whole numbers because they take into account the average mass of all the isotopes of that element, which have different masses due to varying numbers of neutrons. This results in a weighted average that is not a whole number.
How are the atomic numbers and the atomic masses of the elements related to how the elements are arranged on peridoic table?
Elements are arranged in a periodic table by atomic number, lower on top and left. Atomic masses have no direct relationship to the arrangement of atoms, although generally atoms with higher atomic numbers will have higher atomic masses. (There are at least three exceptions for atoms with atomic numbers differing by 1.)
What are the three pairs of elements that are out of order in the periodic table in terms of their atomic masses. Why it is necessary to invert their order in the table?
The three pairs of elements that are out of order in terms of their atomic masses are iodine and tellurium, cobalt and nickel, and uranium and neptunium. It is necessary to invert their order in the table to maintain the order of increasing atomic masses within each group or period, ensuring that elements with consecutive atomic numbers also have consecutive atomic masses.
Which two elements have an atomic mass less than twice their atomic number?
Elemental hydrogen and helium have atomic masses less than twice their atomic numbers.
What did Dimitri Mendeleeve do?
Dmitri arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic masses. He arranged elements in rows and columns according to atomic masses.
Why could you use clues about atomic mass to place elements even though the table is now based on atomic number?
the bigger the mass of an element, the higher its atomic number.
What are the atomic number and mass of the animals?
Animals are not atoms and have neither an atomic number nor an atomic mass.
When masses combine to form elements with larger masses?
Atomic fusion occurs when masses combine to form elements with larger mass.
What elements have such small masses that they are not even considered when atomic masses are calculated?
Electrons
