...electrons, as they account for a negligible mass relative to the atom as a whole (electrons make up 1/1840th of the total mass, to be precise).

Is there a difference between mass and atomic mass when dealing with elements?

Generally the term "atomic mass" is used for isotopes. For elements is preferred now "atomic weight".


Where on the periodic table are elements which the highest atomic mass?

Elements with the highest atomic mass can be found towards the bottom of the periodic table, typically in the bottom rows known as the actinide and lanthanide series. These elements include heavy elements such as uranium, thorium, and plutonium.


How atomic number better than atomic mass?

No two elements may have the same atomic number. But two elements may have same atomic mass. Hence atomic number is better than atomic mass.


What elements are out of order in terms of the atomic mass?

In the periodic table, elements are generally arranged by increasing atomic number, but some are out of order based on atomic mass due to isotopes and electron configurations. Notably, elements like potassium (K) and argon (Ar) are examples where potassium (atomic mass ~39.1) appears before argon (atomic mass ~39.9), even though argon has a higher atomic mass. This occurs because the periodic table prioritizes the atomic number (number of protons) over atomic mass when ordering elements. Other examples include isotopes and the placement of certain transition metals.


How were the elements in the periodic table arranged?

By Atomic Mass


How are chemicals related to atomic mass?

The molar mass of a compound is the sum of atomic weights of the contained elements in the molecule.The expression atomic weight is correct for elements; for isotopes is correct atomic mass.

What is the sum of atomic mass?

I suppose that you think to atomic weights (not mass) of chemical elements and the molecular mass.


In what order did Mendeleev arrange the elements in the first periodic table?

Mendeleev arranged the elements in the periodic table according to their atomic masses.


What element has a smaller atomic mass than krypton?

Argon (Ar) has a smaller atomic mass than krypton (Kr). Krypton has an atomic mass of about 83.80 u, while argon has an atomic mass of approximately 39.95 u. Other elements with smaller atomic masses than krypton include neon (Ne) and helium (He).
