You add up the mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and Neutrons having an Atomic Mass of 1, and electrons having an atomic mass of roughly 1/1800.

What does the atomic mass tell you about a atom?

The mass.If you also know the element number you can figure out the number of neutrons (provided its an isotopic mass rather than an average 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 do you tell figure out the atomic mass?

Atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. On the periodic table, the average atomic mass of an element will the be number at the bottom of each box.


The relative atomic mass of an atom can be found by comparing the mass of the atom to the mass of?

Is the mass of an iron atom any different from the mass of a copper atom?

Yes, the mass of an iron atom is different from the mass of a copper atom. The mass of an iron atom is approximately 56 atomic mass units, while the mass of a copper atom is approximately 63.5 atomic mass units. Therefore, there is a difference of about 7.5 atomic mass units between the two.
